8 April 2008 Inspection Notes:

'Cannot Win' talker signs
Where the pokie had a straight sided top box, the sign was placed on the top box so as not to be visible when looking into the video play face. Where the pokie had a curved sided top box, the sign was placed high on the video section so that the bottom edge of it was above the animated reels. Where the pokie had no top box (either 6 or 8 pokies), the sign was placed along side the animated reels.

General Comments
The 8 April inspection was carried out around 10:15AM. A staff member was observed handing out tickets to gamblers playing the pokies while sitting at the pokies. The staff member was heard to say "You must be playing to get a ticket". There was a large promotional set up in the gaming room called "Key to Cash". There were rules posted on the wall to the bistro area. They were set too high and in too small of type to be read easily. ALH was mentioned. The staff member repeatedly called out how long the promotion was to last e.g. "7 minutes left". If a gambler stayed longer at their pokie would they get more tickets?
