The diploid number for the Meiosis card game is 46, which represents the total number of chromosomes present in a human cell. "Tabcorp has since taken significant steps to improve customer safety, including re-structuring the Safer Gambling Team which has led to an increase in customer interventions," the firm said, adding that it now is introducing new technology ti detect changes in customer behaviour faster. But in a report made public on Friday, the second Adam Bell-led inquiry declared the period since the last findings in 2022 had been "marked by lost opportunities and missteps", including four significant compliance breaches.

It showed "systemic and extremely serious issues" involving multiple Star staff falsifying records to suggest they had intervened in players' extended gambling stretches when no interaction had taken place. The Star's Sydney licence remains suspended after a first inquiry found damning evidence of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism failings, although it has been allowed to keep the casino operating with a regulator-appointed manager.

The regulator's chief commissioner, Philip Crawford, said the latest Bell report validated concerns that prompted the second inquiry, highlighting a company that had not moved fast enough to address previously aired governance and cultural issues. "Tabcorpґs breaches reflect systemic operational deficiencies and non-compliance with the conditions of its licence, leading to significant harm to a customer," VGCCC chair Fran Thorn said in a statement. Aug 23 (Reuters) - Australian wagering business Tabcorp has been fined A$4.3 million ($2.89 million) for repeated breaches of gambling harm prevention laws between 2020 and 2023, the Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission said on Friday.

Analysts at Jefferies said that the fine was imposed for misconduct including the sending of promotional materials to customers who had opted out and for inadequate employee training to mitigate gambling harm.
