The legal effect of Section 9 of the Public Gambling Act, 1867 is to:
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
By providing that proof of playing "for any money, wager or stake" is not necessary to convict a person of keeping or managing a common gaming-house, section 9 lightens what the prosecution must prove. It does not call for proof of stakes or eyewitnesses, and punishment remains as fixed by section 3.
