Overview Two machines are permitted per single site whilst arcades are regulated on individual licences but on average there are 56 machines per location. Operators of gaming machines pay 29 per cent gambling tax over the cashbox and sometimes also have to pay 19 per cent VAT. This tax rate replaced the 16 per cent VAT on the cashbox and the industry has been reeling since. And despite promises to the industry from the government that they would be compensated, to date nothing has happened. The new gambling law and no smoking ban has also affected business badly.


In 2011 the rules for slot machines were adjusted and they are no longer allowed payment of bills in arcades and restaurants and only permitted coin payout. Cashless is permitted at Holland Casinos only. Meanwhile new slots were permitted higher speed play, higher payouts and higher payout ratio and a lower hourly loss. Holland Casinos operates the 14 casinos in the Netherlands and of the €545m gross income some 42 per cent was from table gaming and 47 per cent from the slots. Total visits to all the casinos amounted to 5,624,000. Of the 474 tables in the casinos 141 are roulette and 135 are blackjack.
