You could also call this:

"Some casino workers need a special approval to do their job"

If you work in a casino, you might need a special certificate. You need this certificate if you do certain jobs, like running games or handling money. You can get this certificate under section 163. You need a certificate if you do jobs like dealing cards, counting money, or fixing gambling machines. You also need one if you supervise people doing these jobs. The government can make rules that say other casino workers need certificates too, under section 371. If you work for a casino on a contract, you might need a certificate if your job is related to these activities.
