CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

A State election was held on 18 September 1999 with the result that the Labor Party replaced the Liberal/National Coalition as the Government, with the Honourable Steve Bracks MP as Premier.

In May 2000, Parliament passed the Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gaming) Act 2000 (the Act), which made a number of changes to the role of the Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority. The Act added two new objects for the Authority to the Gaming Machine Control Act 1991, which covers gaming venues. The new objects are:

• to advise the Minister on community concerns about the economic and social impact of gaming on the well-being of the community; and

• to foster responsible gaming in order to minimise harm caused by problem gambling and accommodate those who gamble without harming themselves or others.

A similar responsible gambling object was added to the Casino Control Act 1991 requiring the Authority to foster responsible gambling in casinos.

In addition, the Act also removed the following from the legislation that outlines the Authority’s objects:

• to fund research into, and advise the Minister on, the social impact of gaming; and

• to promote tourism, employment and economic development generally in the State.

The Act also provided for the Government to establish a separate Gambling Research Panel to commission and monitor research into the social and economic impact of gambling, the causes of problem gambling and strategies to minimise harm. In the meantime, the Authority undertook to complete its third research program. This research program comprised an integrated package of eleven distinct projects; one on- going survey series, eight new projects and the introduction of two longitudinal surveys. Eight of these projects have been published. Work on the remaining three projects is being finalised.

The Authority put in place preliminary arrangements to implement initiatives prescribed in the responsible gambling legislation. These related to limits on 24 hour gaming at venues and the right of local councils to make a submission to the Authority on the impact on their communities of proposed increases in the number of electronic gaming machines at an existing venue or a new gaming venue.

With the introduction of this new legislation and the release of the Productivity Commission’s final report “Australia’s Gambling Industries” in November 1999, gaming issues continued to be of interest to the community.

VICTORIAN CASINO AND GAMING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 1999-2000 1 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

The cap of 27,500 electronic gaming machines allowed to operate in the State, outside of the Melbourne Casino, was retained during the year. There was a small increase in the number of licensed electronic gaming machines from 27,289 to 27,408.

Ownership of the Melbourne Casino changed when Crown Limited became a wholly owned subsidiary of Publishing and Broadcasting Limited on 30 June 1999. There has been no change to the licence conditions that allow for the operation of 350 gaming tables and 2,500 electronic gaming machines at the Southbank site.

During the year work was completed on the second triennial review of the casino operator and licence. The Authority reported its findings to the Minister for Gaming on 30 June 2000.

During the year there was no change to the composition of the Board of the Authority. Since 30 June 2000 Mr George Davis, the member nominated by the Chief Commissioner of Police, resigned effective from 13 July 2000 and on 31 July 2000 the terms for the Chairman, Mrs Sue Winneke, and members Mr Henry Bosch AO and Professor Trang Thomas expired. The new members of the Authority appointed on 22 August 2000 are: Ms Una Gold; Assistant Commissioner Graeme McDonald - the member nominated by the Chief Commissioner of Police; Mr Peter McMullin; and myself as Chairman (effective 25 September 2000).

I would like to thank the members of the Authority, including the immediate past Chairman and members, the Director of Gaming and Betting and his staff for their professional approach, hard work and commitment in the discharge of their responsibilities.

OVERVIEW

The Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority is a statutory body established under the Gaming and Betting Act 1994. The Authority commenced operations in June 1994.

The legislation provides that the Authority shall consist of up to ten members and specifies that these members shall be appointed by the Governor in Council and shall include one nominated by the Chief Commissioner of Police. Authority Members, as at 30 June 2000, are listed at page 3.

Members of the Authority come from a wide range of backgrounds including academia, business, the churches and industry and bring a diverse range of social, financial, legal, accounting and commercial skills to the Authority.

To facilitate consideration of the Authority’s financial and research responsibilities, two committees were established which meet and report to the Authority as required - the Audit Committee and the Research Committee.

The Audit Committee comprised up to three Authority members and the Director of Gaming and Betting. As at 30 June 2000, Authority members serving on the Audit Committee were Mr Henry Bosch AO, Chairman, Dr Desmond Hore and Mr Donald Swan. The Chairman of the Authority and the Auditor-General have a standing invitation to attend each meeting of the Audit Committee.

Other members of the Authority serving on the Research Committee as at 30 June 2000 were the Reverend Professor Robert Gribben and Professor Trang Thomas AM.

The Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000 established an independent Gambling Research Panel with the scope for research to be conducted to include the social and economic impact of gambling and the causes of problem gambling and strategies to minimise harm from gambling. The Authority’s Research Committee will continue work on those research projects which remain outstanding with a view to completing the 1998-99 Research Program.

The Director of Gaming and Betting is appointed by the Governor in Council and has specific statutory duties under gambling legislation. As Chief Executive Officer, the Director is responsible for the day to day operations and staff and is accountable to the Secretary, Department of Treasury and Finance.

OUTPUTS

Licences, Permits and Authorisations

Implementation of the Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000 1 Overview The Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000 was passed by the Parliament in May 2000. The legislation represents the initial phase of the Government’s responsible gambling policies. A number of additional regulatory controls were introduced including the power to apply regional caps to limit the number of electronic gaming machines in particular areas, restrictions on 24 hour gaming and providing municipal councils with a greater say in the placement of electronic gaming machines in their municipalities. The legislation also provides for the re-introduction of the requirement for the Authority to approve contracts between a venue operator and a gaming operator.

Submissions from Municipal Councils in Relation to Gaming Amendments to the Gaming Machine Control Act 1991, which came into operation on 10 May 2000, provide municipal councils with the opportunity to make a submission to the Authority on the economic and social impact of applications for new premises approval or to increase the number of electronic gaming machines permitted in an approved venue within their municipality.

The new legislation ensures municipal councils are notified of any application in their municipality and provides them 28 days within which to make a submission to the Authority on such applications. A council can make a submission addressing the economic and social impact of the proposal for approval on the well being of the community of the municipal district, taking into account the impact of the proposal on surrounding municipal districts. The submission must be in or to the effect of the form approved by the Authority.

Under transitional arrangements, these provisions apply to applications lodged with, but not determined by, the Authority before 10 May 2000. In accordance with the transitional provisions, copies of these applications were sent to municipal councils and the councils given 28 days within which to make a submission to the Authority.

VICTORIAN CASINO AND GAMING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 1999-2000 15 INTENDED OUTCOME 1

To facilitate processing of applications not determined by the Authority before 10 May 2000, and those lodged with the Authority after that date, the Authority approved a preliminary form of submission to be used by councils. The preliminary form of submission ensures councils are able to make a submission within the time specified by the new legislation while also enabling them to make a full submission, should they wish to do so, when the final form of submission is approved.

Work continues on the form which councils will use to make a submission to the Authority. It is being developed in consultation with the Municipal Association of Victoria, the Victorian Local Governance Association, gaming operators and peak bodies representing the gaming industry. It is expected that the Authority will be in a position to consider applications later this year.

As at 30 June 2000, the Authority was in receipt of 35 applications subject to the new legislation. Municipal councils have indicated that they wish to make a submission to the Authority on 19 of these applications.

24 Hour Gaming The Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000 introduced a condition on the hours during which gaming may be conducted in approved venues. The condition requires that, unless specific approval is granted, all venues must have a continuous 4 hour break from gaming after every 20 hours of gaming and that there must not be more than 20 hours of gaming each day.

The new legislation also provides that a venue operator may apply to amend its licence to commence 24 hour gaming or, if 24 hour gaming is already approved, to amend the days on which 24 hour gaming is allowed. An application to amend a venue operator’s licence to allow 24 hour gaming to be conducted can only be made in respect of venues which are located in the Melbourne Statistical Division and which have a liquor licence authorising the supply of liquor at any time.

Similarly, applicants seeking new premises approval can, at the same time, apply for approval to conduct 24 hour gaming provided the premises subject to the application are located within the Melbourne Statistical Division and have an appropriate liquor licence.

Applications to conduct 24 hour gaming must be accompanied by a submission on the net economic and social benefit that will accrue to the municipal district in which the premises are located as a result of the premises being open as an approved venue for 24 hours and must take into account the impact of the proposal for approval on surrounding municipal districts.

The application must be made in the form approved by the Authority and must include the information specified in the form. A consultative process has been undertaken to develop the form of the submission which will form part of the application and which, it is anticipated, will be available later this year. Transitional

16 VICTORIAN CASINO AND GAMING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 1999-2000 INTENDED OUTCOME 1

provisions were included in the legislation to allow venues in a position to demonstrate a history of 24 hour gaming during the previous twelve months immediately before the legislation received Royal Assent to apply to the Authority to retain 24 hour gaming. Transitional provisions expired on 6 June 2000.

Approval granted under the transitional provisions will remain valid until the existing premises approval expires or until an application to amend the days or dates on which 24 hour gaming is permitted is approved.

The Authority is currently processing 134 applications received for the continuance of 24 hour gaming under the transitional provisions. All approved venues which applied have been audited by Inspectors to validate the history of 24 hour gaming at the approved venue, and are being progressively advised of the outcome of the application.

New Authority Rules At its meeting of 30 May 2000, the Authority approved an amendment to Rule 3 of the Authority Rules. Rule 3, which refers to the hours during which an approved venue can operate, was amended to provide sanctions for breaches of restrictions on operating hours introduced by the Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000. Rule 3 as amended by the Authority came into effect on 7 June 2000.

Under section 79(2) of the Gaming Machine Control Act 1991, a venue operator commits an offence for failing to enforce an Authority Rule. The sanction that may be imposed by a Magistrate’s Court is a penalty of up to $2,500. In addition, disciplinary action against the venue operator for a breach of that Act may be taken by the Authority and result in variation, suspension or cancellation of the licence or in the issue of a letter of censure, or imposition of a fine of up to $50,000.

Rule 3 was also amended to provide venue operators with an exemption from the requirement to provide unfettered access to gaming patrons so as to be able to exclude from the venue a person who has sought to be excluded from gaming venues under a voluntary self-exclusion scheme.

In addition, there were some consequential amendments to Rule 3 following the repeal of the Liquor Control Act 1987 and its replacement with the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998.

There were no changes to any of the other Rules. The Authority Rules are at Appendix 3.

Shareholder Monitoring

Under the Gaming and Betting Act 1994, a person has a prohibited shareholding interest in TABCORP Holdings Ltd if that person is entitled to voting shares of more than 5% of the total on issue. If a prohibited shareholding is detected, the Minister for Gaming may require that person to dispose of the relevant number of shares.

VICTORIAN CASINO AND GAMING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 1999-2000 17 INTENDED OUTCOME 1

In July 1999, the Minister required Colonial Ltd to reduce a prohibited shareholding interest in TABCORP to less than 5% within one month of conclusion of the merger negotiations between TABCORP and Star City. Colonial Ltd reduced its shareholding in TABCORP to 4.87% effective from 25 January 2000. The 5% limit was exceeded due to the TABCORP and Star City merger.

In addition, approval from the Authority is necessary for any person to be entitled to more than 5% of the total number of shares on issue in Crown Limited. There was no change in shareholdings in Crown Limited during 1999-2000 which are fully owned by Publishing & Broadcasting Limited.

Controlled Contracts

Section 29(2) of the Casino Control Act 1991 requires the Authority to: “...publish in its annual report all classes of matter and all classes of contract specified by the Authority under paragraph (c), (ca) and (d) of the definition of “controlled contract” in sub -section (1) during the previous year.”

Paragraphs (c), (ca) and (d) relate to contracts that the Authority, by notice in writing, specifies as not being a controlled contract. In the year under review, no new classes of controlled contracts were exempted.

In addition, section 30 requires Authority approval prior to contracts and variations of contracts being entered into between the casino operator and providers of goods and services (other than those exempted). In 1999-2000, 17 controlled contracts and 19 variations to controlled contracts were approved by the Authority.

Second Triennial Review of the Casino Operator and Licence

In accordance with the provisions of section 25 of the Casino Control Act 1991, the Authority completed its second triennial review of the Melbourne Casino Operator and Licence and forwarded its report to the Minister for Gaming on 30 June 2000.

The report details the investigations into the casino operator. It also sets out the Authority’s opinion as to the suitability of the casino operator, Crown Limited, to continue to hold a casino licence and as to whether it is in the public interest that the Melbourne Casino Licence should remain in force.

Licensing - Frequently Asked Questions on Authority’s Website

During the year, answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) were formulated in relation to licensing matters. These FAQs were printed and enclosed with the Authority’s newsletter which was distributed to all venues. In addition, they were placed on the Authority’s website at “www.gambling.vcga.vic.gov.au”.

Information packs relating to applications for all minor gaming activities were also made available to applicants in hard copy or via email.

Relevant licence and contact details are also available on the Business Licence Information Service (BLIS). The BLIS is a joint initiative of the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments and the service can provide people with a tailored, comprehensive report on all the federal, state and local government licences relevant to the establishment or growth of a business. The BLIS website address is “www.business.channel.vic.gov.au”.

Four excluded people lodged invalid Appeal Notices and two other appeals did not proceed to a hearing. The casino operator revoked two exclusion orders, following pre-appeal hearing mediation sessions and three appeals are pending hearings.

Note: Offences under the Crimes Act 1958 and the Summary Offences Act 1966 were processed and prosecuted by the Victoria Police, with the assistance of Inspectors when required.

Patron Complaints at the Casino

Patrons lodged 120 complaints relating to the conduct of gaming in the casino.

Investigations and Prosecutions - Gaming Venues and Minor Gaming

Inspectors examined the operation of all licensed gaming venues in Victoria. In addition, unannounced inspections were made of minor gaming activities, including the drawing of trade promotion lotteries, to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.

During the year 785 investigations were conducted. These were carried out as a result of complaints, unannounced surveillance and in relation to licence applications, permits and other approvals.

Fifteen people were prosecuted in the Magistrates’ Court for 38 offences. Offences and results are shown in the table below. Six venue operators were prosecuted during the year. Three venue operators and three nominees were found guilty of a total of 22 offences of employing or using the services of an unlicensed person to perform the duties of a special employee. Three venue operators were prosecuted for failing to keep accounting records as required.

Four people were prosecuted under the provisions of section 145 of the Gaming Machine Control Act 1991 for offences of providing false or misleading information in relation to an application for a licence.

Changes in licensing procedures in which applicants are required to provide their own National Police Certificate with their application has reduced the number of instances of applicants failing to disclose required information. As a result there was a reduction in the number of prosecutions for applicants failing to disclose criminal histories.

Twenty seven matters were awaiting hearing before Magistrates’ Courts as at 30 June 2000.

Note: Offences under the Crimes Act 1958 and the Summary Offences Act 1966 were processed and prosecuted by the Victoria Police, with the assistance of Inspectors when required.

1998-99 Research Program

During the year the Authority continued to undertake research into the social and economic impacts of gambling.

Research undertaken by the Authority was funded from the Community Support Fund, established under section 138 of the Gaming Machine Control Act 1991.

On 1 July 1998 the Authority announced its 1998-99 Research Program. In total the 1998-99 Research Program comprised an integrated package of eleven distinct projects: one on-going survey series; eight new projects and the introduction of two longitudinal surveys. No new Research Program was announced in 1999-2000.

The Gambling Legislation (Responsible Gambling) Act 2000 established an independent Gambling Research Panel with the scope for research to include the social and economic impact of gambling and the causes of problem gambling and strategies to minimise harm from gambling.

The Authority continued to conduct its research in accordance with a research charter and plan (refer to Appendix 5) which provided the foundation for its research focus.

VICTORIAN CASINO AND GAMING AUTHORITY ANNUAL REPORT 1999-2000 35 INTENDED OUTCOME 5

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2000

1. Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of Accounting This financial report has been prepared to comply with Australian Accounting Standards and with the requirements of the Financial Management Act 1994. It has been prepared using the full accrual basis of accounting based on historical cost accounting. The accounting policies adopted for the reporting period are consistent with those of the previous period.

(b) Depreciation of Non-Current Assets All non-current assets having a limited useful life to the Authority are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner that reflects the consumption of their service potential.

Depreciation methods and the estimated useful lives for asset types, which are renewed annually, are set out below:

Asset type Method 1999-2000 1998-99 Office Furniture & Equipment Straight line 8-10 years 8-10 years Gaming Equipment Straight line 6-7 years 6-7 years EDP Hardware Straight line 4 years 4 years EDP Software $100k or greater Straight line 2 years 2 years Motor vehicles Straight line 2 years 2 years

(c) Employee Entitlements The Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority (VCGA) has recognised employee entitlements to long-service leave and annual leave in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standard AAS30 “Accounting for Employee Entitlements”. Long Service Leave The liability for employee entitlements to long service leave represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows to be made by the employer resulting from employees’ services provided up to balance date. A current liability is recognised for the amount estimated to be paid within 12 months. Liabilities which are not expected to be settled within 12 months are discounted using government bond rates at balance date, which most closely match the terms of maturity of the related liability. In determining the liability for long service leave, consideration has been given to future increases in salary and wage rates and the entity’s experience with staff departures. Related on-costs have also been included in the liability. Annual Leave Provision for accrued annual leave entitlements is made at current salary and wage rates in accordance with relevant awards, agreements and contracts and is inclusive of relevant payroll on-costs.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2000 1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(d) Leases The Authority has commitments only to operating leases, where the lessor effectively retains substantially all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased items. Lease payments are charged to expense over the lease term.

(e) Revenue The Authority’s operating revenue comes from its Special Appropriation from the Victorian Government’s Consolidated Fund (section 94 of the Gaming and Betting Act 1994).

(f) Economic Dependency The normal operating activities of the Authority and the ability of the Authority to meet its debts as and when they fall due depends on the continued financial support of the State Government of Victoria.

(g) Bad and Doubtful Debts There are no bad or doubtful debts for the reporting period as the Authority expects to receive all debts owed.

(h) Revaluations of Non-current Assets A review of asset values by management at 30 June 2000 has resulted in a number of minor asset revaluations to better reflect their carrying amount. The carrying amount of assets does not exceed their recoverable amount. Revaluation increments are credited directly to the Asset Revaluation Reserve (Note 14).

(i) Appropriations The Authority’s Special Appropriation is recognised as revenue in the period in which the Authority receives the appropriated funds. Undrawn appropriations at the end of the year are not taken up as revenue because the Authority cannot draw on these funds after balance date.

Salaries and Related Costs 9,891,108 9,143,672

Decrease in costs is predominately due to a decline in the level of media monitoring information.

Research Charter

The Gaming Machine Control Act 1991, section 109(e), requires the Authority to fund research into, and advise the Minister for Gaming on, the social impact of gaming.

The Authority will achieve this objective by adopting and operating within a broad set of principles (as detailed below).

These principles establish and describe parameters for the purpose of implementation of functional roles and responsibilities.

1. The fundamental purpose of research conducted by the Authority is to gather data in a format that will enable it to: • make available to the public reliable information on the social impact of gambling; • put its views to the Government on policy issues in a timely manner; and • carry out regulatory functions and recommend implementation of changes to those functions as appropriate. 2. The Authority will undertake and/or commission such research as is necessary to ensure that the social impact of gaming is thoroughly documented and understood for the benefit of the community, the Government and the industry. 3. Co-operation and co-ordination of the research effort among and between the industry and community will be encouraged, to facilitate the rationalisation and standardisation of research into the social impact of gambling and to achieve reciprocal benefit and cost savings. 4. To assess social impact as required under the Act, social impact will be defined for this purpose as: • impact on individuals and families; • impact on communities and neighbourhoods; • cultural and social impact; and • socio-economic impact. 5. The Authority will monitor significant research developments both within Victoria and on the interstate and international levels as part of on going efforts to maintain Victoria at the forefront of gambling studies and research. 6. The Authority will establish and maintain basic data sets such as are necessary to enable it to perform its research and other functions. 7. From time to time, specific issues of concern within the community will arise that the Authority will research, report on and provide its views on policy matters to the Minister. 8. The Authority will identify and implement necessary longitudinal and consequential impact studies. 9. The Authority will disseminate results of its research wherever possible (taking into account commercial sensitivities) to government, commercial operators, other researchers, interest groups, media and the general public.
