Unlicensed Family Entertainment Centres
Introduction
If you’re going to provide Category D machines, you’ll need a family entertainment centre gaming machine permit.
Eligibility
You can apply for a family entertainment centre gaming machine permit for any premises or vessel which is in a fixed location when you’re providing the activities the licence covers, including:
- vessels designed or adapted for use in, on or over water
- hovercrafts, as defined under the Hovercraft Act 1968
You can’t apply for a family entertainment centre gaming machine permit for a vehicle.
Other considerations
You may have to pay Machine Games Duty (MGD).
