HOTEL LICENSEES TO FACE COURT OVER ALLEGED GAMING BREACHES
Licensees of Chittaway Bay Tavern and Regent Hotel will face charges in court over alleged breaches of NSW gaming laws following investigations by Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW).
At the Chittaway Bay Tavern on the Central Coast, the regulator found alleged breaches including:
- Situating gaming machines in a manner whereby they were visible from outside the hotel
- Locating an ATM in an area where gaming machines were kept
- Compelling patrons to pass through the gaming room to access the ATM
On 22 November 2022, L&GNSW conducted an inspection of the venue and allegedly identified that the gaming machines were positioned where they could be seen from outside the hotel, breaching Clause 8(2)(e) of the Gaming Machines Regulation 2019.
During that inspection, an ATM was allegedly found in the same area that gaming machines were kept, in breach of NSW gaming laws.
A reinspection on 10 December 2022 allegedly found that patrons were required to pass through the gaming room to access the ATM.
At the Regent Hotel in Kingsford, Sydney, L&GNSW discovered alleged violations including:
- Allowing gaming machines to operate outside the licensed trading hours on various dates
- Permitting a gaming machine to operate during the three-hour shut down period
On 20 and 27 November and 4 December 2022, the licensee allegedly permitted gaming machines to be operated between 5am and 6am, which is outside the hotel’s licensed trading hours under NSW gaming laws.
On 4 December 2022, the licensee allegedly allowed a gaming machine to operate during the hotel’s three-hour shut down period on a weekend/public holiday.
The licensee of Chittaway Bay Tavern, Dianne Lee Walsh, and the licensee of the Regent Hotel, Jessica Ng, are due to appear in the Downing Centre Local Court in relation to the charges on 11 July 2023.

Tom Horn Gaming Releases Wild Tribe Wall
Tom Horn Gaming has released Wild Tribe Wall, a brand-new 5×5 scatter pays slot that takes players deep into a mysterious rainforest, where ancient tribes guard powerful riches.
Wild Tribe Wall is packed with engaging mechanics and introduces a completely reworked UX and UI, designed to make gameplay faster, cleaner and more intuitive. Key features are available instantly, cutting out unnecessary clicks and keeping players fully focused on the action.
Gameplay options such as Infinity Spins and Turbo Mode are now accessible with a single click. Bonus Buy has also been streamlined, with three clearly visible buttons – Buy Free Spins, Free Spins Booster and QuickX – placed directly under the reels for immediate access without disrupting the gameplay flow.
Wild multipliers and distinct bonus buy options
Wild multipliers range from x1 up to x50 and substitute for all symbols except Scatters. When multiple wilds land in a winning combination, their values are added together.
The bonus system adds depth and progression. Free Spins, triggered by three scatters, are fully retriggerable, while Super Free Spins, activated by four scatters, remove lower multipliers and guarantee only high-value wild multipliers on the reels, significantly increasing win potential. Players can also buy direct access to Free Spins or Super Free Spins, activate the Free Spins Booster for a higher bonus trigger chance, or enable QuickX to guarantee wild multipliers on every spin for maximum intensity.
“With Wild Tribe Wall, we focused on creating a more intuitive, user-friendly game that simply feels great to play. By reworking the UX and making features instantly accessible, we’ve removed friction from the experience. Combined with frequent wins and strong visuals, the game leaves players feeling genuinely satisfied with the gameplay,” said Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming.
Built to deliver frequent wins and consistent engagement, Wild Tribe Wall offers a highly satisfying gameplay rhythm. A strong hit rate, combined with wild multipliers, BlastX and layered bonus features, ensures wins are regular, impactful and easy to follow from the very first spin.
