New Category C Gaming Machine Technical Standards
*
New technical standards came into effect on 8th November for Cat C gamingmachines.
These changes affect three main areas on machines:
-Speed of Play: Changes in speed of play have been approved, with game speed being linked to stake.
-Cashpots: A technical fix has been announced to remove an unintended restriction on the use of pots on Cat C machines.
-Game links: Cat C games may incorporate 100% holdover on non-winning games so that any features and bonuses built up can be carried forward.
The changes came about following the Gambling Commission being approached by BACTA, the trade association for the sector, which highlighted the decline in the UK gaming machine manufacturing industry along with the difficult conditions being experienced by many operators.BACTA put together a package of proposals to amend the technical standards in relation to Cat C machines with a view to increasing their attractiveness, whilst posing no substantial threat to the Gambling Commission’s licensing objectives. The proposals were designed to enable new machines to compete more effectively with legacy machines and encourage the industry to remove these from site. The Gambling Commission is hopeful that the changes which have now been implemented will result in an early substantial reduction in the number of legacy machines still in operation.
