The Gaming Machines Act 2001 imposes serious penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for illegal possession or sale of gaming machines.
“Such offences can threaten the integrity of the gaming industry and lead to a lack of public confidence in regulatory controls,” Liquor and Gaming NSW’s director of compliance operations Sean Goodchild said.
