?8 MarchApril 2008 Inspection Notes:

'Cannot Win' talker signs

All signs placed so as not to be visible when looking into the video play face. Best practice.

Visibility of ATM from Gaming Room

.Top of ATM visible from pokie #47. This ATM has a solid screen erected around it although the lit top is exposed. It is loacted in the Howitt Street entrance to both the gaming room and the bistro. ATM has no fixed anti-gambling notice. Placed on top of the ATM screen was a business card holder with cards from Gambler's Help.

Distance of ATM from nearest pokey

8 paces

Visibility from Bistro Area
