How to find licensed venues nearby
Rather than trusting a list that may be months old, search the SA liquor and gaming public register or the CBS register of gaming machine entitlements by suburb. Both are official South Australian sources and show which venues are licensed for gaming machines and how many machines they are approved for.
Then check the venue's own website or call for current gaming hours. Hours vary between venues and can change on public holidays.
- Pick the suburb you can reach most easily.
- Search the public register or CBS entitlements register for that suburb.
- Visit the venue's official website for hours and facilities.
- Plan the trip home before you leave, especially at night.
