Location of pokie machines operated by Bluegrass Trust

Julie Fairey made this Official Information request to Department of Internal Affairs

The request was successful.

From: Julie Fairey

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Please provide a breakdown of the specific venues, and numbers of machines at each venue, hosting pokie machines operated, or formerly operated by the Bluegrass Trust.

I understand Bluegrass Trust has 117 machines nationwide, and that they are in seven bars in Auckland, Lower Hutt, Blenheim, Nelson and Christchurch. I am seeking the names, street address, and number of machines for each of these venues.

Can you also please advise what will happen to these machines if Bluegrass Trust fails in its appeal against losing its licence to operate Class 4 gambling machines.

Yours faithfully,

Julie Fairey

I have shared this information with other Local Board members in other areas, where there are Bluegrass Holding machines, and publicly on the Roskill Community Voice facebook page (the local government ticket I am a member of, I'm an elected member on the Puketapapa Local Board) http://www.facebook.com/roskillcv

It is not obvious, but the second file, "List of Venues", shows full info for 1,400 venues - apparently every site in NZ, not just the Bluegrass ones requested.

At the right side of the spreadsheet, "GM Count" = number of gaming machines on the site. "JP Count" refers to the presence or absence of a 'jackpot controller' linking all the machines at the site.
