The Magistrate correctly found, on the evidence of membership fees, room rent and open provision of mahjong facilities, that the premises operated as a commercial gambling establishment and were not private; therefore the social occasion defence under s.3(2) did not apply, the meal constituted 'winnings' under the definitions, section 6 was not inconsistent with the Bill of Rights as held in authority, and the convictions were properly sustained.
