www.abc.net.au Queensland LNP promises to increase pokies cap for clubs with more than two premises

The state opposition will take the policy to the looming Queensland election, arguing an increase to the cap will throw a "lifeline" to smaller clubs facing closure.

Queensland LNP promises to increase pokies cap for clubs with more than two premises

In short:

  • Queensland's LNP opposition wants to increase the cap on poker machines that can operate at clubs with more than two premises.
  • The gaming machine cap for a club licensee with three or more sites is 500, but the LNP wants to lift that to 700.

What's next?

  • The LNP is taking the policy to the looming October state election, arguing that the proposal would benefit smaller clubs facing closure.

... Don't these statements contradict each other?

-> Applies only to businesses with more than two premises

-> benefits "smaller clubs"
