General Comments
Using Tabcorp "You Can Feel It" reserved pokie signs which could imply that the longer one gambles on a particular pokie the better the chances might be.
Sign promoting $152,234 won on jackpots at the Seaford Hotel last month.
No external clock on any wall observed.
Other than a sign in back entrance advising about new gaming legislation changes to payout and a Welcome to Tabaret sign, all other large posters promoted Tabaret pokie machine features.
In a decision made by the VCGA in April 2001 with respect to the Chelsea Heights Hotel, it was noted that Seaford was an area "under stress from gambling"

Kid's Play Area
A large area in front of the hotel to the immediate right of the main entrance was under construction. This is to the right of the Tabaret sign in the first picture.
