• Licensing Objectives

  Below are the additional steps that you have agreed to undertake to promote the four Licensing Objectives and which form a part of the operating schedule for these premises: -

   

  The prevention of crime and disorder

  The casino will have a comprehensive, fully recorded CCTV system and 24 hours security/surveillance department. Recorded data from external cameras and general view cameras in the public areas inside the premises will be retained for 28 days. Recorded data showing reportable incidents will be archived in compliance with Aspers CCTV policy and where appropriate will be made available to the police. The CCTV installation will be maintained and operated in compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998.  The casino will operate a zero tolerance policy towards drugs and drunkenness. Intoxicated or disorderly persons will not be permitted entry to the premises. The casino operates an Alcohol and Disruptive Behaviour Policy and a Responsible Gaming Policy and Self Exclusion Scheme.

  Staff will be vetted and will receive relevant training. Those staff employed as security officers at the front door will be SIA licenced and a register of their names and SIA numbers will be maintained on site. Staff will co-operate with police investigations and enquiries and there will be a manager responsible for the overall management of the premises on duty when the premises are open to the public.

   

  Public safety -Staff will be fully trained in evacuation procedure and practices will be held.  There will be a qualified first-aider on the premises at all times and first-aid boxes will be kept in the building.  The company has a written health and safety policy and all staff will be trained in health and safety.  There will be full compliance with statutory requirements for health and safety and fire safety.  Where security staff are employed at the front door of the premises they will wear company uniform and will have a badge indicating their name and job responsibility. Should security staff be required to work for long periods outside the casino premises demise or if they are involved in an evacuation of the premises, they will wear high visibility jackets.

   

  The prevention of public nuisance - Guests will be asked to leave quietly.

  Excellent public transport links and the high availability of taxis minimise the potential for public nuisance from visitors leaving the area, as does the high level of visible security.  The reception and security staff and the CCTV system will be a deterrent to local crime and anti-social behaviour.  The casino commits to membership of the local Pub Watch Scheme. No open bottles, glasses or other such container will be taken from the premises and no customer will be permitted entry with a bottle or glass.

   

  The protection of children from harm - Persons under the age of 18 are excluded from the premises and the reception and security staff will be trained to prevent those under 18 from gaining entry.  Staff will receive training in the laws relating to children and will ask for proof of age where there is any doubt.
