Gaming machines must not be sold or given away for display purposes in a home or museum, even those that may be classified as antiques, and may not be converted or repurposed for any other use.

Gaming machines can only be sold from 1 licensee to another, such as a hotel or club who holds a gaming machine licence or other licensed organisations. If you require more than 1 month to dispose of gaming machines, lodge an application to store gaming machines with us. This must be done within 1 month of us approving the application to decrease or accepting the notification of a gaming machine licence surrender. However, the Gaming Machine Act 1991 requires that gaming machines must be disposed of appropriately. The Office of Liquor and Gaming Regulation (OLGR) no longer needs to be advised when you dispose of gaming machines. This also applies when decreasing the number of EGMs at a venue. When surrendering a gaming machine licence in Queensland, you must consider how to dispose of your electronic gaming machines (EGMs), through sale or destruction.
