Casino Control Act 2006

Despite any other territory law but subject to this Act and the Casino (Electronic Gaming) Act 2017, it is lawful—

for the casino licensee or a casino employee to conduct an authorised game in the casino; and

for a person to play an authorised game in the casino; and

for a person to use approved gaming equipment or chips in the conduct and playing of an authorised game in the casino.

The casino is not a public or private nuisance only because it is used as a gaming house.

This section does not allow an action to be brought in a court to recover—

an amount won in the course of gaming in the casino; or

an amount, or a cheque or other instrument, given in payment of an amount mentioned in paragraph (a); or

an amount wagered in the course of gaming in the casino, that was lent in the knowledge that it was to be applied in that way.

An action may be brought against the casino licensee to recover an amount won at gaming in the casino or the amount of a cheque given by the casino licensee in payment of an amount won that was later dishonoured (see s 116 (3)).
