            (b)         the gaming area, or areas, of one or more specified premises that are the subject of a gaming machine licence.

        (2)         An order under this section remains in force until revoked.

        (3)         Subject to subsection (4), the Authority will, on the written request of the excluded person, vary or revoke the order.

        (4)         An order under this section may not be revoked, or be varied so as to limit in any way its application, unless it has been in force for a period of at least 12 months.

        (5)         The Authority must give written notice of an order under this section, and of any variation or revocation of the order, to the licensee of each place to which the order relates.

        (6)         An excluded person who enters or remains in a place from which he or she has been barred under this section is guilty of an offence.

Maximum penalty: $2 500.

        (7)         The powers under the Casino Act 1997 or the Gaming Machines Act 1992 relating to requiring a person to leave, or removing a person from, a place from which the person has been barred under either of those Acts, extend to a person barred from such a place by an order under this section, as if the order were an order under the relevant Act.

        (8)         The barring of a person from a place pursuant to an order under this section will be regarded as confidential information for the purposes of this Act.
