64 Effect of discovery of instruments of gaming
Where a place suspected to be open, kept or used as a place for
unlawful gaming is lawfully entered by a member of the Police
Force or a gaming inspector, the discovery therein or on or about a
person found in the place of an instrument of gaming, gaming
machine, ticket dispensing machine or thing used in or associated
with playing an unlawful game is prima facie evidence that:
(a) the place is used as a place for unlawful gaming; and
(b) the persons found in the place where the instrument or
machine was discovered were playing in that place, although
no play was actually going on in the presence of the member
of the Police Force or gaming inspector lawfully entering or the
member's or gaming inspector's assistants.
