The subsequent framework removed that requirement and divided regulatory responsibilities between the Gambling Commission and local licensing authorities. The Commission oversees operating and personal licences, while councils deal with premises licences and local conditions. In Manchester, the city council remains responsible for casino premises licensing. Its cancellation left Manchester with the casino premises already operating under the established licensing framework rather than a single dominant regional venue. For some converted casino premises, machine allowances also became linked to floor area and the number of tables in use.
