### sec.85A Application to increase approved hours of gaming
A licensee may apply to have the approved hours of gaming for licensed premises of the licensee increased.

An application must—
be in the approved form; and
be given to the commissioner; and
be signed in the same way as an application for a gaming machine licence is required to be signed; and
See section 56 (5) (b) and (c) and (7) .
if the licensee’s gaming machine licence relates to 2 or more premises—state the premises to which the application relates; and
state the hours of gaming for which approval is sought.
