If the club holds the license the club owns the machines. Clubs are not for profits and need to return 100% of profits to the club & facility. In practice this takes the form of Club Board members giving themselves generous contracts to renovate/clean/manage aspects of the club (via services companies that they or a family member own). There are sports leagues clubs in NSW that rival small Las Vegas casinos in facilities and amenity.
