Gambling laws say that those who want to use a premises wholly or mainly for making gaming machines available for use - such as small arcades in holiday parks, theme parks and seaside resorts - can do so if they are granted a family entertainment centre (FEC) gaming machine permit.
This type of permit cannot be issued to vessels or vehicles.
However, those FECs who do not hold a gambling premises licence will only be able to offer category D machines only under this permit.
If the operator of a FEC wants to make category C machines available, in addition to category D machines, then they will need to apply for an operating licence from the Gambling Commission and then a gambling premises licence from us.
Therefore holders of premises licence cannot apply for a FEC gaming machine permit for the same premises.
