Venue Operational Requirements

7.05 Jackpot Information


Jackpot information must be provided on each gaming machine that is part of a linked jackpot arrangement.

See the definition of 'electronic game information' on page 3 of the Gambling Regulations 2015

A venue operator must not allow a gaming machine to be played if it does not function in the manner in which it was designed and programmed to function, and this includes a gaming machine that incorrectly displays that it is or isn’t part of a linked jackpot arrangement, or does not provide the relevant player information about the jackpot.

If a gaming machine ceases to be part of a linked jackpot arrangement, but can still be played, it must have a sign on it warning players that the gaming machine is, for the time being, not contributing to the linked jackpot arrangement.

See section 3.5.21 of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003.
