It creates two types of licences: one for 'casino key employees' (senior or trusted staff) and one for regular 'casino employees'. \n\n**What it does:**\n- **Makes licences mandatory**: You cannot work at the casino without a valid licence if your job involves gaming operations. There are heavy fines ($50,000 for the casino, $10,000 for the worker) for breaking this rule.\n- **Sets application requirements**: Workers must apply in person, provide ID (birth certificate or passport), get a letter from their employer, pay fees (ranging from roughly $150-$525 depending on the licence type), and undergo police background checks including fingerprinting for key positions.\n- **Creates a regulatory body**: The Gaming and Wagering Commission decides who gets a licence and can add conditions, refuse applications, or punish misconduct.\n- **Allows provisional licences**: Temporary licences can be issued while full background checks are pending.\n- **Sets rules for conduct**: Licensees must display ID badges, notify authorities of any criminal convictions within 7 days, and follow casino rules. The Commission can fine licensees up to $5,000, censure them, suspend or cancel their licence for misconduct or criminal convictions.\n- **Requires record-keeping**: The casino operator must notify the Commission when staff start or finish work, and the Commission maintains a register of all licensees.\n- **Introduces infringement notices**: Minor offences (like not wearing ID badges) can be dealt with via on-the-spot fines rather than court proceedings.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone seeking to work at the Burswood Casino in a gaming-related role\n- The casino operator (currently Crown Perth)\n- The Gaming and Wagering Commission of Western Australia\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis law ensures casino staff are vetted for criminal history and integrity before handling gambling operations. It protects against fraud, money laundering, and organised crime infiltration in the casino industry. The strict penalties and police involvement reflect how seriously WA takes casino integrity."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985","history":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985/history","analysis":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/casino-control-burswood-island-licensing-of-employees-regulations-1985/documents"}}
