Permit for gaming machines and amusement arcades

Municipality Oldebroek: Permit for gaming machines and amusement arcades

If you want to place a gaming machine such as a fruit machine in your establishment, you must apply for a presence permit. No license is required for a machine of skill, such as a pinball machine.

The number of slot machines you are allowed to have depends on the type of device in which you want to place the slot machine. The municipality distinguishes between 'high-threshold' and 'low-threshold' establishments.

  • High-threshold establishments are, for example, 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).

You may also need to apply for an operating license from the Kansspelautoriteit (Gaming Authority).

You can find the costs for applying for a presence permit on the municipality's website.

The municipality will decide on your application within 8 weeks of receipt. This period may be extended once.

You can object to the decision on your application. Do this within 6 weeks. Do you then disagree with the decision on the notice of objection? Then file an appeal with the court.
