Australian Capital Territory Numbered Acts

GAMING MACHINE ACT 2004 (NO. 34 OF 2004) - SECT 70

    (1)     The commission may, in writing, cancel or suspend the approval of a gaming machine or peripheral equipment if—

        (a)     the machine no longer operates as designed; or

        (b)     the machine no longer operates as intended.

    (2)     To remove any doubt, if the approval of a machine is cancelled or suspended under this section, it applies to all machines of that kind, whether or not a particular machine is operating as designed or intended.

Example

A King of the Thames gaming machine stops operating in accordance with its design. The commission suspends the approval of King of the Thames gaming machines, even though not all King of the Thames gaming machines have stopped operating in accordance with their design.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    (3)     A cancellation or suspension under subsection (1) is a notifiable instrument.

Note     A notifiable instrument must be notified under the Legislation Act.
