29 Conservation of evidence
Where the person for the time being in charge of a casino, an employee authorised under section 28(1)(b) or a gaming inspector in the course of their duties suspects, on reasonable grounds, that an instrument, article, equipment, device or thing has been or may be used in connection with an offence in a casino, whether or not a person has been detained under section 28, the person in charge, employee or inspector may seize the instrument, article, equipment, device or thing in order to prevent it being:
concealed, lost or destroyed;
sold or otherwise disposed of; or
used in connection with an offence in the casino.
Where it appears that property specified in subsection (1) cannot be seized under that subsection without a search of a person, the person shall be detained under section 28 and the search carried out by a member of the Police Force under that section.
Property seized under subsection (1) shall be kept in a secure place and delivered up to a member of the Police Force with as little delay as possible.
