EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations specify the matters by reference to which a casino is to be classified for the purposes of the Gambling Act 2005 as a large or small casino, or as below the minimum size for a licensed casino.

A casino is a large casino if the combined floor area of those parts of the casino used for providing facilities for gambling is equal to or exceeds 1,500 square metres but is less than 3,500 square metres.

A casino is a small casino if the combined floor area of those parts of the casino used for providing facilities for gambling is equal to or exceeds 500 square metres but is less than 1,500 square metres.

A casino is below the minimum size for a licensed casino if the combined floor area of those parts of the casino which are used for providing facilities for gambling is less than 500 square metres.

For the purposes of the Regulations, parts of a casino are to be regarded as used for providing facilities for gambling if: they are shown on the plan included in a licence that has effect in respect of the premises as the parts that will be used for providing such facilities in reliance on the licence; if they were shown on the plan that accompanied an application for a casino premises licence in respect of the premises (where the application remains undetermined) as the parts that would be used for providing such facilities in reliance on the licence; or in any other case if they would be required to be shown on the plan accompanying such an application (were one to be made in respect of the premises) as the parts which would be used for providing such facilities in reliance on the licence.
