In short:

  • Queensland’s LNP opposition wants to increase the cap on poker machines that can operate at clubs with more than two premises.
  • The gaming machine cap for a club licensee with three or more sites is 500, but the LNP wants to lift that to 700.

What’s next?

  • The LNP is taking the policy to the looming October state election, arguing that the proposal would benefit smaller clubs facing closure.

… Don’t these statements contradict each other?

-> Applies only to businesses with more than two premises

-> benefits “smaller clubs”
