The legal stoush between the Victorian government and gaming and wagering giant Tatts Group over $540 million in compensation will head back to court on Friday.

The government's application for special leave to appeal a 2014 Victorian Court of Appeal decision will be heard in the High Court on Friday, Tatts Group said in a statement.

The application for special leave comes after the government in 2014 was ordered to pay Tatts more than $450 million.

The dispute centres on whether Tatts should be compensated after losing its poker machine duopoly with rival Tabcorp outside of Melbourne's Crown Casino in 2012.
