Casino Control Act 1984

Subject to regulations made under section 37, the Commission may give directions to a casino licensee about the management and operation of the casino.

A direction may be amended from time to time by the Commission as the Commission thinks fit.

A direction or an amendment of a direction has effect when written notice of it is given to the casino licensee concerned or on a later date specified in the notice.

Controls and procedures referred to in directions, or in amendments of directions, may be described in words or represented diagrammatically, or by a combination of both methods.

Without limiting subsection (1), the Commission may give a direction to a casino licensee, or a person responsible for the management and operation of the casino, to adopt, vary, cease or refrain from any practice in respect of the conduct of the gaming operations of the casino licensee or the playing of any game in the licensed casino.

A casino licensee must take all reasonable steps to ensure that any direction given to the licensee under this section is brought to the notice of, and is not contravened by the following persons —

a person responsible for the management and operation of the casino;

any other person acting in relation to the management and operation of the casino as an employee, agent or otherwise on behalf of, or subject to the control of, the casino licensee.

Where a direction given by the Commission so provides, any power of approval or other function specified in that direction may be exercised or carried out by a person or body to whom it has been delegated by the Commission pursuant to section 16 of the Gaming and Wagering Commission Act 1987, and for the purposes of that direction the giving of an approval or the imposition of a prohibition by such a delegate shall be as effective as if given or imposed by the Commission.

It is a condition of a casino gaming licence that the casino licensee complies with any direction given to the casino licensee under this section.
