Slot machine or skill machine 

A slot machine is a machine that allows you to win money, like a slot machine. With a skill machine, you can't. Think of a pinball machine or video games.

How does it work?

  • Only catering establishments and slot machine halls are allowed to place a slot machine.
  • The slot machine owner must have an operating license from the gaming authority.

What should I do?

  • You apply for an attendance permit from the municipality.
  • If you also own the slot machine, you can apply for an operating license through the municipality at the same time.
  • With your application, please report at least:
    • How many slot machines you want to place in your business;
    • The name and address of your business;
    • The name and address of the slot machine owner.
  • Always notify the municipality if anything changes. For example, with a different owner of the vending machine or if you want to place more or fewer vending machines in your business.
  • You hold a valid operating license and alcohol license for your catering establishment.
