The Acts define these as games of chance, and the figure an operator prints for a title is a long-run figure attached to the game, not to an hour of the day.
What the Act says
Northern Territory: a game of chance, as the Act defines it
(1) For the purposes of this Act: (a) a game: (i) which is or is intended to be a game of chance; (ii) which is or is intended to be a game partly of chance and partly of skill; or (iii) which is a trick or sleight of hand, played with an instrument of gaming, contrivance or device whereby money is or goods are gained or disposed of; (b) a game from which a person derives a percentage, part or share of the amount or amounts wagered, staked or played for or for which a charge is made; or (c) a game declared under the Regulations or by the Minister under section 53(2)(a) to be an unlawful game, is an unlawful game.

ACT: chance and mixed chance and skill in the definition

What this does not settle
No figure quoted here is tied to a clock: the Acts define the games by chance, and the return an operator prints sits against the title, not against an hour or a weekday. Nothing on this page is timing advice, and a return figure describes a game over a long run rather than a session.
Licence status in Australia
None of the sites on this page about timing and chance names an Australian licence; each is an offshore operator as far as Australian law is concerned. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and the ACMA's powers under it are quoted on our law page. Amounts are quoted as each operator prints them; nothing is converted to A$.
