VGCCC Charges Tabcorp and Eight Venues for Allegedly Allowing a Minor to Gamble
The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission (VGCCC) has charged Tabcorp along with eight venues for allegedly allowing a minor to gamble in breach of the Gambling Regulation Act 2003. Tabcorp faces a total of 54 charges, including 27 counts of allowing a minor to gamble and failing to reasonably supervise its electronic betting terminals.
The venue operators and a TAB agency face allegations they allowed a minor to gamble on 27 occasions between 8 September and 1 November 2022.
The venue operators have been charged with allowing a minor to gamble, allowing a minor within a gaming machine area and failure to ensure gambling vending machines were reasonably supervised at all times. The TAB agency has been charged with allowing a minor to gamble and failing to ensure reasonable supervision of its electronic betting terminals.
The venues are the Olympic Hotel, the Brunswick Club, the Edwardes Lake Hotel, the Parkview Hotel, the Albion Charles Hotel, the Doncaster Hotel, the Rose Shamrock & Thistle Hotel and the Northcote TAB Agency.
If found guilty, the operators face a maximum collective fine of more than one million dollars, while Tabcorp could face a maximum fine of $698,997.60.
VGCCC CEO Annette Kimmitt AM said: “One of the most serious harms is allowing minors to gamble. All gambling venues must ensure they do not accept a bet from a minor and must ask for identification from anyone they suspect could be underage.”

Embark on a Babylonian journey in Law of Gilgamesh by Elysium Studios
Having already raised the bar in terms of what players can expect from an online casino game, this month Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt are back with an almighty bang for what promises to be one of their most ambitious slot adventures to date in Law of Gilgamesh.
Taking players on a majestic journey through ancient Mesopotamia, Law of Gilgamesh is an exciting cluster pays slot that boasts cascading reels and maximum wins of up to 10,188.50 x the bet. Unique symbols to appear in the game include relics from the Sumerian kingdom like stone lions, rams and bulls plus the goddess Ishtar, the warrior Enkidu and the fabled king Gilgamesh himself.
Each of these last three legendary figures has the power to rain down special modifiers on the reels if enough matching symbols are collected to trigger their unique ability. Gilgamesh will add wilds to random reel positions, Enkidu will slash and remove a huge “X” of symbols and Ishtar will destroy all low value symbols and replace them with high value ones, each starting a new re-spin.
Should players be fortunate enough to land three or more free spins icons, not only will they receive a minimum of 7 Free Spins, but each spin will also begin with the one of those aforementioned abilities activated. On top of that, if they trigger another power in the same spin, their multiplier will increase by one and they can also land extra free spins to prolong the feature.
Equally as epic, if players can successfully collect three or more scatter symbols during the base game, they’ll be given the opportunity to climb the awe-inspiring Tower of Babel in the Tower Bonus. Here they’ll be prompted to select a door to reveal either a prize multiplier or an arrow that’ll move them one floor higher, with bigger and better rewards available the further they climb!
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “Make no mistake about it, Law of Gilgamesh is a hugely ambitious entry in the Swintt’s Elysium Studios catalogue. Featuring breath-taking visuals, engaging features and a cascading reels mechanic that’ll keep players coming back for more, the game really will be an epic addition to any operator’s line-up.”
