Territorial Extent Schedule 12: Club gaming permits and club machine permits Sections 279 & 280: Exempt gaming
706.This section authorises the provision of gaming facilities on alcohol licensed premises, provided the gaming complies with certain conditions. No further authorisation is required to make the gaming lawful, provided the conditions are complied with.
707.The conditions are as follows:
	The facilities are limited to equal chance gaming;
	Stakes and prizes for the gaming must not exceed any limits as to value or amount prescribed by the Secretary of State;
	No amount may be deducted or levied from amounts staked or won;
	No participation fees may be charged (and this includes membership subscriptions, see section 344(3));
	The games played may only take place on one set of alcohol-licensed premises, i.e. there may not be any linking of games between premises; and
	Children and young people must be excluded from the gaming.
708.Under section 6 of the Gaming Act 1968 (general provisions as to gaming on premises licensed for retail sale of liquor) cribbage and dominoes may be played for winnings at premises licensed to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises. It is also possible, under section 6, for the holder of such a licence to apply for permission for other forms of gaming on the premises. In all cases conditions may be made to prevent high-stake gaming taking place, and to ensure the gaming does not become the main inducement to attend the premises. The Act repeals this section, and sections 279 and 280 contain the replacement provisions.
