Registered Clubs Act 1976
His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Registered Clubs Act 1976.
J. RICHARD FACE, M.P.,
Minister for Gaming and Racing
Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to provide for the issue, by certain gaming machines in registered clubs, of tickets showing the unredeemed credits accumulated by players of the machines, and for the redemption of those tickets.
It does this by amending the Registered Clubs Regulation 1996. The amendments also provide for ancillary matters, such as the keeping of records in relation to the tickets.
A similar regulation amends the Liquor Regulation 1996 to make similar provisions in respect of machines in hotels.
This Regulation is made under the Registered Clubs Act 1976, and, in particular, under sections 9A (6) and 73 (the general regulation-making power).
