Do you want to place a slot machine? Then you must apply for a permit. This permit is called a presence permit. No license is required for a machine of skill, such as a pinball machine.
There is a difference between ‘high-threshold’ and ‘low-threshold’ establishments.
- High-threshold establishments include cafes, bars and nightclubs. These companies are allowed to have two slot machines, both games of chance and skill machines.
- Low-threshold establishments include snack bars, canteens and restaurants. These companies are allowed to have two skill machines (so no gambling machines).
