EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the regulation)

These regulations amend the Gaming Control Regulations 1994 so as to standardise the fees payable for applications for a licence for a casino operation, a statewide keno operation or a statewide gaming machine operation. Similar changes are made in the case of nominated associates in respect of gaming machines. The regulations also make special provision for the fees payable by applicants who hold a licence when these regulations come into force. In addition a new category of special employee's licence is introduced, namely statewide gaming management.
