Gambling Act 2003

Harm prevention and minimisation, enforcement, and other matters - Minimum standards for gambling equipment - Transitional provision

329: Transitional provision relating to gambling equipment

You could also call this:

"Rules for old gambling machines when the law started"

If you have gambling equipment that was already being used when this law started, it is treated as meeting the minimum standards required by section 327 until a certain date. This date will be decided by the Governor-General using an Order in Council. The Governor-General can make one or more Orders in Council to set different dates for different purposes.

When the Governor-General makes an order under this law, it is called secondary legislation, which has its own rules for publication, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. You can find more information about this in the Legislation Act.

The law allows the Governor-General to decide on the dates for when the minimum standards apply to different types of gambling equipment.
