VICTORIAN gaming machine venues have received some concessions in a deal reached between balance-of-power MP Geoff Shaw and the state government.
Treasurer Michael O'Brien says the government has made a deal with Mr Shaw to address concerns raised by poker machine operators in his Frankston electorate over government plans to hike the poker machine tax grab.
The measures agreed with the independent MP cost under $10 million, he said.
They have been put in place to ensure the bill - opposed by Labor - has a secure passage through parliament with Mr Shaw's backing, he said.
Mr O'Brien says the bill fixes a costly problem by the former Labor government that sets tax rates for gaming venues too low.
The concessions won by Mr Shaw include deferring the start date of the gaming machine tax changes by one month to May, saving clubs and hotels about $6 million this financial year.
The government earlier withdrew the bill after Mr Shaw, whose vote the government depends on, indicated he would not support it.
Mr O'Brien says the changes will deliver about $500 million to state coffers over four years.
