Starting July 1, 2024, hotels and clubs possessing over 20 Gaming Machine Entitlements will need to ensure the presence of at least one Responsible Gambling Officer (RGO) during gaming machine operations. Establishments with a larger number of gaming machines will necessitate additional RGO staffing.
