The convictions were upheld because the totality of evidence — direct conduct and reactions at the raid, statutory presumption under s.19(1) (entry delayed and gambling equipment found), and admissible expert evidence under s.20(3) — proved the premises were an illegal gambling establishment and that D1, D3 and D4 knew of and participated in or permitted its use; D4A as owner was inferred to have known and to have permitted use; expert opinion did not usurp the court; sentences were appropriate and within statutory maximums.
