GAMING ACT 1845 - SECT 2

What shall be sufficient evidence that a house is a common gaming house.

2. In default of other evidence proving any house or place to be a common
gaming house, it shall be sufficient, in support of the allegation in any
indictment or information that any house or place is a common gaming house, to
prove that such house or place is kept or used for playing therein at any
unlawful game, and that a bank is kept there by one or more of the players
exclusively of the others, or that the chances of any game played therein are
not alike favourable to all the players, including among the players the
banker or other person by whom the game is managed, or against whom the other
players stake, play, or bet; and every such house or place shall be deemed a
common gaming house such as is contrary to law and forbidden to be kept... by
all... Acts containing any provision against unlawful games or gaming houses.
