CASINO CONTROL ACT 1992 - SECT 4

4 Gaming in licensed casino declared lawful

(1) Despite the provisions of any other Act or law, the conduct and playing of a game and the use of gaming equipment is lawful when the game is conducted and the gaming equipment is provided in a casino by or on behalf of the casino operator (that is, the holder of the licence for that casino under this Act).

(2) The Unlawful Gambling Act 1998 and the Lotteries and Art Unions Act 1901 do not apply to the conduct and playing of a game and the use of gaming equipment when the game is conducted and the gaming equipment is provided in a casino by or on behalf of the casino operator, except to the extent (if any) that the regulations otherwise provide.

(3) This section does not operate to validate or render enforceable a contract relating to gaming that would, apart from this section, be invalid or unenforceable.

(4) Despite subsection (3), a contract to which that subsection refers and to which a casino operator is a party is enforceable against the casino operator.

(5) The conduct of operations in a casino in accordance with this Act and the conditions of the casino licence is not of itself a public or private nuisance.
