8 April 2008 Inspection Notes:

'Cannot Win' talker signs

Pokies #60 and #53 had no signs. Except for pokie #32 all signs were placed on the top box so as not to be visible when looking into the video play face.

Visibility of ATM from Gaming Room

There are two ATMs.
One is in the entrance area. A glass screen has been erected around this ATM although one can easily discrern that there is an ATM behind the glass. This ATM is visible from pokies 79-82 and 63-65.
The other ATM is in the bistro area and close to the entrance to the TAB room. There is no visual shield around this ATM. It is visible from the whole of the gaming bar area.

Distance of ATM from nearest pokey

11 paces from the entrance ATM.
18 paces from the bistro ATM.

Visible posting of availability of Self-Exclusion facility

Despite posting of other notices, Tabaret, ALH mission statement and David Schwarz poster, there was no visibly posted offer of self exclusion facility. There was a business card holder on the bar for Marshall Motors and Body Works / Melton taxi service.

Number of Player Information Posters

8 but 1 was almost totally obscrured by pokie #19

Eating in Gaming Room

No.

Yes. Complimentary.

Visibility from Bistro Area

There is a shared front entrance. The back of the bistro has an open entrance (no doorway) to the gaming area. While the restuarant seating is somewhat buffered by an open lounge space, the pokie noises would be audible.

Kid's Play Area

Yes. From kid's area doorway, the gaming room lights would be visible through the bistro and hotel entranceway as all walls are glass; particularly, when automated doors to the gaming room open.
