The Perth Casino Royal Commission (PCRC) is calling for submissions from members of the public to a discussion paper on the regulation of poker machines and electronic gaming machines (EGMs).
The paper, Regulation of Poker Machines and EGMs, was released today and is open for comment until 20 January 2022. It is available on the PCRC’s website under Publications, Practice Directions and Rulings.
A spokesperson for the Commission said the paper explores the existing regulatory framework governing the use of poker machines in licensed casinos in order to consider whether and, if so to what extent, that framework applies to the electronic gaming machines (EGMs) used at the Perth Casino.
“The PCRC wishes to provide the interested parties and the public the opportunity to express their views on any matters raised by this paper,” the spokesperson said.
The PCRC is required to inquire into, report and make any recommendations related to:
- Crown's suitability to hold a casino gaming licence in Western Australia; and
- the appropriateness of the regulatory framework.T
The paper has been prepared to inform the Commission’s enquiry and does not express any final or concluded views.
