Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Context of and specific resources for assessment

Assessment must ensure use of:

operational gaming venue with machines and equipment such as poker machines, approved amusement devices, slot machines, multi-terminal gaming machines, progressive or stand-alone machines, stand-alone games, linked machines and linked progressive jackpot systems

the venue may be a real industry workplace or simulated industry environment

applicable header systems

data retrieval system

gaming machine reporting software.

Method of assessment

A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:

evaluation of reports and gaming data analysis completed by the individual

oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of gaming legislation and organisational procedures
