Three venues that violated their approved opening hours were fined a total of $39,694 by the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission.
The three casinos in Victoria had pokies that customers were still playing after hours, according to the regulator. The commission stated that it chooses to use the available enforcement action—fining the casinos—because it takes such offenses seriously.
It was noted by the agency that venue operators have the option to participate in a free service provided by Intralot Gaming Services, which automatically turns on and off poker machines in accordance with operating hours.
