Website provides a downloadable gaming promotions jpeg. See picture to the right.
The 2004 Queensland Responsible Gambling Code of Practice provides in section 6.1 that advertising and promotions does not depict or promote the consumption of alcohol while engaged in the activity of gambling. The pictures to the right depict people engaged in pokie gambling while holding drinks that may or may not be alcoholic.

Does the "Unsupervised Childrens Playground" imply that it could be OK not to supervise children while they are using this facility?
