28 Entry powers to licensed casinos of police and others
A member of the Police Force acting in the course of police duty —
may, without warrant, enter into any part of a licensed casino to which the public has access; or
being a police officer of or above the rank of inspector or who, not being of or above that rank, is so authorised by —
another police officer of or above that rank; or
an officer of the Commission; or
a person ostensibly acting on behalf of the casino licensee,
may, without warrant, enter any part of a licensed casino to which the public does not have access,
and may remain there for the purpose of discharging that duty.
Subsection (1) does not prejudice the exercise by a member of the Police Force of any power conferred otherwise than by this Act to enter or remain on any premises, and for the purposes of any such power any part of a casino complex to which the public has, subject to section 26, access shall be deemed to be a public place.
A member or officer of the Commission or person authorised by the Commission for the purpose of this subsection may enter at any time and remain in any part of a licensed casino.
Where an officer of the Commission authorises a member of the Police Force to enter any part of a casino complex to which the public does not have access that officer shall as soon as is practicable inform the manager, or the person appearing to that officer to be in charge for the time being, of that part of the casino complex.
