(3) Any later grant of a casino licence under this section is to be made, on the recommendation of the Commissioner, to an applicant for the licence. 6—Casino premises (1) In the case of the first grant of a casino licence after the commencement of this Act, the licence may only be granted for premises in respect of which a casino licence is, or was last, in force. (2) After the first grant of a casino licence under this Act, a casino licence may be granted for premises at a different site (to take effect on or after the surrender or termination of an earlier licence) if the Commissioner, after conducting a public inquiry into the appropriateness of the new site, recommends the grant of the licence for those premises. (2a) The casino premises will be only regarded as being at a different site for the purposes of subsection (2) if no part of the premises is situated on the previous site. (3) The Governor may, on the recommendation of the Commissioner (made without public inquiry), redefine the boundaries of the casino premises by notice in the Gazette, if the new boundaries consist only of an extension or contraction of the previous boundaries. 7—Restriction on number of licences There is not to be more than one casino licence in force under this Act at the same time.
