5B Meaning of “keno”

(1) For the purposes of this Act, keno means a game of chance that has the following essential features—

(a) the selection of 20 winning numbers from the set of numbers 1 to 80,

(b) each individual draw is conducted and completed within a 24 hour period,

(c) subscriptions are sold only to persons who at the time of sale are on the licensed premises of a club, hotel or casino (regardless of the manner or means of sale).

(2) The sale of a multi-game entry does not commence the individual draws to which the multi-game entry relates (so the requirement that each individual draw is conducted and completed within a 24 hour period does not require the draws to which a multi-game entry relates to be conducted and completed within 24 hours after the sale of the multi-game entry).

(3) In this section—

licensed premises of a club, hotel or casino means—

(a) licensed premises to which a club licence under the Liquor Act 2007 relates, or

(b) licensed premises to which a hotel licence under the Liquor Act 2007 relates, or

(c) premises that form part of a casino within the meaning of the Casino Control Act 1992.

multi-game entry means an entry in a number of consecutive games of keno, starting with the game that is open when the entry is sold.
