Permits

There are five types of permits and one notification process. These are:
These permits replace section 34(1) and section 34(5E) permits, and Part II and Part III registrations under the Gaming Act 1968 and section 16 permits Lotteries and Amusements Act 1976. Unlicensed Family Entertainment Centre GMP’s (arcade section 34’s) and Prize Gaming Permits (section 16’s) had to be converted during the transitional conversion window, between 21 May and 30 July 2007, though a new application can be made at any time. The others replace existing permits and registrations as they become due for renewal.
If your existing permit does not convert into one of the above permits, see more information below under each section, then your existing permit cannot be renewed. This will mainly relate to gaming machine that are at present in hotel lobbies (i.e. not in the bar), fish and chip chops, canteens etc. Torbay Councils existing policy prevents section 34 is most of these locations already so it will not affect very many permit holders. If you have any doubts please ring and speak to a member of the Licensing Team. You will be able to keep your permit, however, until its renewal date and then it will simply expire.
