Explanatory note

This Order amends paragraph 65 of Schedule 4 to the Gambling Act 2005 (Commencement No. 6 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/3272 (C. 119), as amended by S.I. 2025/734) (“the 2006 Order”).

The amendment relates to the gambling entitlements authorised by a converted casino premises licence: the type of licence granted to persons who were already operating casinos when the Gambling Act 2005 (c. 19) came into force. The effect of the amendment is to make it clear that the gaming machine entitlements described in sub-paragraph (6) of paragraph 65 of Schedule 4 to the 2006 Order are alternatives rather than a series of options that can be taken together: only one such entitlement is authorised to be exercised at any time.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
