Which of the following is a correct interpretation of Section 9 of the Public Gambling Act, 1867?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 9 dispenses with proof that persons playing were staking money or other value, for conviction of keeping or managing a common gaming-house. The prosecution must still establish the legally required common-gaming-house character, including the section 1 keeper-profit condition; amusement-only play does not itself establish those other elements.
