Queensland outlines tender rules for hotel gaming machine operating authorities
By SectorWire desk · · Updated
Summary
Queensland's OLGR guidance explains how eligible hotel licensees obtain gaming machine operating authorities through competitive tenders across three regions. Authorities must remain within their original region when traded. A trial running until 30 June 2028 publishes minimum prices and reduces the government's share of sale proceeds from 33% to 15%.
