This Act may be cited as the Casino Control Act 1982.
This section and section 1 shall commence on the day on which this Act is assented to.
Except as provided in subsection (1), this Act shall commence on a day appointed by proclamation.
The object of this Act is to ensure that, on balance, the State and the community as a whole benefit from casino gambling.
The balance is achieved by allowing casino gambling subject to a system of regulation and control designed to protect players and the community through—
ensuring the integrity and fairness of games; and
ensuring the probity of those involved in the conduct of casino gambling; and
minimising the potential for harm from casino gambling.
The dictionary in the schedule defines particular words used in this Act.
A reference in this Act to the operation of a casino, or to a similar expression, is a reference to casino operations in respect of the casino.
A casino licence is declared not to be personal property under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cwlth).
This section applies to the Minister, the chief executive or an inspector (an authorised person) when the authorised person has the power to allow someone else to do something.
The authorised person may allow the other person to do the thing on conditions the authorised person considers appropriate.
Example—
If a casino operator may sell liquor at a gaming table only if the chief executive approves the sale, the chief executive may approve the sale of liquor during certain hours and at certain gaming tables.
This section applies whether or not the section mentioning the authorised person’s power states the power may be exercised on conditions.
