Quarterly gaming reports

The NSW Government is committed to providing detailed and transparent data on gaming machines so the community can be kept well informed about gaming activity in the State. To further improve transparency and make it easier for people to access data, Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) is publishing quarterly gaming machine data.

Reporting periods

Gaming machine information is available on a quarterly basis and the quarters for a club or hotel differ as they have different taxation reporting periods.

Clubs report on quarters ending in February, May, August and November.
Hotels are taxed quarterly and the reporting periods end in March, June, September and December.

Annual reporting for clubs and hotels align with these quarterly periods, with a financial year for clubs running from September to August, and a financial year for hotels running from July to June.

Types of reports that are published

L&GNSW publish three gaming machine data reports.

For each LGA these reports combine the:

number of venues - clubs or hotels in the LGA
net (pre-duty) profit and tax
number of authorised electronic gaming machines operating in the area.

The number of authorised electronic gaming machines figure

represents authorised gaming machines on a particular date, being the last day (or thereafter) of the later reporting quarter
can vary at any time depending on usual business activity such as purchases/sales, venue renovations, technical issues, environmental issues such as flooding etc
includes gaming machines that have been approved to be placed in storage at the venue
maybe the same or less than the number of gaming machine entitlements. Each Gaming Machine Entitlement (GME) held by a venue allows one Electronic Gaming Machine (EGM) to be authorised and operated. On any given day, not all entitlements are being used to operate gaming machines at venues in NSW.

To protect individual venues anonymity figures for LGAs with four or fewer venues are not provided. Data for these areas is amalgamated with neighbouring LGAs.

For each club and hotel, these reports contain the:

licence number and licence name
suburb and postcode
local government area (LGA)
number of authorised electronic gaming machines
state rankings by net profit.

For each club and hotel, these reports contain the:
