Queensland applicants holding or seeking an eligible liquor licence can apply to the Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) for a gaming machine licence or changes to an existing one. The Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming decides whether to grant an application, considering social and community impacts; applications with significant community impact require a community impact statement, responsible gambling initiatives statement and advertising.
Hotels and clubs must meet application and community-impact requirements before operating approved machines.
