Territorial Extent Schedule 6: Exchange of information: persons and bodies Part 5: Operating Licences Section 86: Gaming machines
265.While certain operating licences confer general permissions to use gaming machines, under section 68, the permission to use gaming machines on particular premises is contained in Parts 8 and 10 of the Act. This means that the Commission should not attach conditions to operating licences concerning numbers or categories of gaming machines which an operator is entitled to use. Therefore, subsection (1) prevents operating licences having conditions attached to them about:
	the number or categories of gaming machine that may be made available for use in accordance with an operating licence; or
	anything that contradicts regulations concerning the use of gaming machines, made by the Secretary of State under Part 10.
266.This does not mean that the Commission cannot regulate the manufacture and supply of machines. Section 96 makes express provision for the Commission to set standards for the gaming machine technical operating licence.
267.Subsection (2) provides a mechanism for the Commission to require operators to stop using machines that have been illegally manufactured, supplied, or handled. The Commission may notify an operator that a machine is not covered by an appropriate gaming machine technical operating licence, or does not comply with Commission standards. After such notification, the Commission may place a condition on the relevant operating licence requiring the operator to stop making the machine available for use. Failure to do so will amount to breach of the licence.
