165: Commencement of duties before issue of certificate of approval

You could also call this:

"Starting casino work before your application is approved"

If you are applying for a certificate of approval to work in a casino, the Secretary may let you start your job before they decide on your application. The Secretary can set conditions for you to follow while you are waiting for their decision. You can start working if the Secretary thinks it will take a long time to make a decision, and the casino will be badly affected if you do not start work right away. The Secretary must also believe that letting you start work will not cause any problems for the casino.
