The Northern Territory has a relatively small pokies sector, with gaming machines permitted in licensed clubs and hotels. Darwin and Alice Springs are the main centres with licensed venues.
The NT has historically had some of Australia's most permissive gaming hours, with some venues permitted to trade around the clock depending on their licence conditions. The relatively small population means total venue and machine numbers are low compared to the eastern states.
Opening hours: Some NT venues operate gaming machines 24 hours a day, while others maintain more restricted hours depending on their licence conditions.
