Part 2: Legislative and executive competence: further provision Chapter 17: Miscellaneous Section 58: Gaming machines on licensed betting premises
This section devolves powers to the Assembly and the Welsh Ministers in respect of gaming machines with a stake of more than £10. This is currently only possible on sub-category B2 gaming machines, commonly known as fixed odds betting terminals. Under section 236 of the Gambling Act 2005, the Secretary of State must define four classes of gaming machine, to be known as categories A, B, C and D, and sub-divide category B into sub-categories. The Secretary of State established categories and sub-categories of gaming machine through the Categories of Gaming Machine Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2158).
	The power devolved in this section permits variation of the number of such machines (those where the stake is more than £10) authorised by virtue of new betting premises licences (including their reduction to zero), but does not permit the variation of the number of such gaming machines authorised by existing betting premises licences. The power does not apply to betting premises licences granted in respect of a track.
