Liquor & Gaming NSW has announced plans to launch the second phase of a “targeted compliance program” aimed at ensuring pubs and clubs across the state are complying with key gaming harm-minimization measures.
According to details unveiled this week, Phase 2 of the program will see around 500 inspections undertaken with a focus on identifying any venues not operating in accordance with their primary purpose, meaning they are only operating gambling areas or only operating the bar in the gaming room. It will also look at the placement of ATMs in areas where gaming machines are located, and instances where patrons are made to pass through gaming rooms to access other parts of a venue.
