NSW Govt Moves to Ban Gambling-related Signage from Pubs and Clubs

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The NSW Government is taking action to deliver on a key election commitment to reduce problem gambling, by moving to ban external signage (e.g. VIP Lounge) from pubs and clubs across the state by 1 September 2023.

The Government’s action on VIP signage comes after introducing legislation in the first sitting week of the new Parliament to ban clubs with pokies from donating to NSW political parties.

Pubs and clubs will be formally notified this week that all external gambling-related signs, including fixed unilluminated awning signs to digital video displays, will need to be removed, altered, or concealed before 1 September 2023.

Liquor & Gaming NSW (L&GNSW) has developed a position paper which outlines its enforcement approach and transition period. As part of this, venue operators have three months to remove all gaming-related signage.

Where venues can demonstrate delays in removing their signage that are outside of their control, they will be afforded a further three months to comply. Following this period, a zero-tolerance approach will be adopted.

Names such as VIP Room/VIP Lounge, Golden Room/Lounge, Players’ Room/Lounge Prosperity Room/Lounge will be among names banned as well as images of dragons, coins or lightning motifs.

The expectations for removal of signs will be applied in a staged manner, to afford venues the time to remove, switch off, conceal or otherwise change both static and electronic signage.

The Government will work with industry associations and venues across NSW during the transition period. The maximum penalty attributable for those who fail to remove their signs and breach the Act is 100 penalty units, or $11,000, per offence.

Minister for Gaming and Racing David Harris said: “The NSW government is committed to introducing important gambling harm-minimisation measures.

“The façades of pubs and clubs across the state are littered with signs such as ‘VIP lounge’ to alert those walking or driving by that they have gaming machines.

“Some of these signs are extremely prominent, can be seen by children and members of the community who are at risk of gambling harm.

“While there are already laws in place that prohibit gaming related signage, venue operators have circumvented these by advertising ‘VIP Lounges’. We are putting an end to this loophole for the health and wellbeing of our communities.”

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Max Spinwell returns in Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win™, the latest instalment in Northern Lights Gaming’s blockbuster slot franchise.

This time, players find themselves in a sprawling metropolis where every alleyway hides secrets and each skyscraper looms over a world of crime and justice.

Once again, hero Max Spinwell takes the detective role, navigating the mean streets, and the unusual suspects he encounters along the way, to uncover the game’s biggest wins.

The reels are framed by a dynamic landscape, with towering buildings and darkened streets filled with danger and opportunity.

Symbols bring the theme to life with iconic underworld images such as briefcases overflowing with cash, handcuffs and dynamite.

The gameplay is just as fierce, with bonus features including:

  • Ultra Link&Win
  • Max Mode
  • High Speed Pursuit
  • Scatter Symbol Wins
  • Free Spins
  • Buy the Bonus

The action really hots up during the Free Spins and Link&Win feature.

Landing three Free Spins symbols trigger ten Free Games, which play out with giant 3×3 symbols, retriggers and Ultra Link&Win, which can be retriggered from the Free Spins, too.

Ultra Link&Win begins with four locked rows and three unlocked rows. Three Respins are awarded during which landing additional Link&Win symbols unlocks more rows.

Respins reset to three whenever a new Link&Win symbol lands in view – a full reel set awards the Grand Jackpot.

Players also have the option of activating Max Mode, which increases the amount of Link&Win symbols that appear on the reels.

Then there’s High Speed Pursuit, which is triggered at random during the base game. Once activated, the bonus will either award Wilds, Scatters or Link&Win symbols.

Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win™ is a high volatility slot with 25 paylines and a 96.13% return to player, but with different RTP options available upon request.

It’s the latest title in the studio’s hugely popular Unusual Suspects series, with other titles including Unusual Suspects Legends of Olympus and Wanted Unusual Suspects.

Chris Loftus, CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Max is back and this time he’s looking to defeat the baddest of crime bosses while unlocking big wins for players. 

“The game is based around our proprietary Link&Win bonus, which sees players unlock rows to expand the reel set and boost their chance of hitting massive wins. 

“This, combined with other bonuses like Free Spins, High Speed Pursuit and Max Mode takes players to the heart of the city where crime runs rampant but with Detective Spinwell on the case, they can take back control and unlock plenty of big wins along the way.”
