FIRST STEPS

The owner or lessee has to apply for a Permit to use an area in his/her premises for gaming, and the Certificate on the back of the "Approval of Premises" application form must be signed and stamped by the local authority then forwarded to the Gaming Division with the fee - $20 for a single date or $65 for 5 years. The premises may only be used, once a week, for gambling provided a "Permit to Conduct a Gaming Function" is obtained for each function. Some local authorities now also charge a $50 fee.
2. The Club has to submit an application for a Permit to Conduct a Gaming Function and pay the fees: $180 for up to 5 tables, $305 for up to 10 tables or $375 for more. Always apply for six hours - it costs no more.
