Contact the municipality if you want to open or take over an amusement arcade.

If you want to install a gaming machine, you need a gaming machine licence. You can only apply for a gaming machine licence only if you operate an amusement arcade or if you have a high-treshold establishment. An establishment is high-treshold if:

  • the location is used as a café or restaurant
  • you have a valid alcohol and catering licence for this location
  • the activities are suitable for persons aged 18 and over

To apply for a gaming machine licence, you also need other permits:

  • For a high-treshold establishment, you need a valid alcohol and catering licence.
  • For an amusement arcade, you need a valid operating permit for an amusement arcade.

Good to know

  • The gaming machine licence is valid for the same period as your alcohol and catering licence. 
  • The licence is personal: you are the only person who may use it.

At the service counter

You can also apply for the permit via the municipality’s service counter.

A gaming machine licence for 1 machine costs: € 113,80

A gaming machine licence for 2 machines costs: € 227,65

You will receive a response to your application within 8 weeks.
