Electronic Gaming machine report by local government area (LGA)

For each LGA these reports combine the:

  • number of venues - clubs or hotels in the LGA
  • net (pre-duty) profit and tax
  • number of authorised electronic gaming machines operating in the area.

    Note: The number of authorised electronic gaming machines figure
    • represents authorised gaming machines on a particular date, being the last day (or thereafter) of the later reporting quarter
    • can vary at any time depending on usual business activity such as purchases/sales, venue renovations, technical issues, environmental issues such as flooding etc
    • includes gaming machines that have been approved to be placed in storage at the venue
    • maybe the same or less than the number of gaming machine entitlements. Each Gaming Machine Entitlement (GME) held by a venue allows one Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) to be authorised and operated. On any given day, not all entitlements are being used to operate gaming machines at venues in NSW.

To protect individual venues anonymity figures for LGAs with four or fewer venues are not provided. Data for these areas is amalgamated with neighbouring LGAs.

Reports

Note: A software error linked to a legacy reporting tool resulted in 12 hotels (located in 11 separate local government areas) not being published in our latest hotel gaming data reports. The software error only affected the reporting of total profit and duty figures in the 11 local government areas for the 1 April 2018 to 30 June 2018 reporting period. No other reporting periods were impacted. There were no discrepancies in gaming machine numbers.
