• All SKYCITY employees receive an overview of the Responsible Service of Alcohol policy during induction as part of the Host Responsibility Level 1 training programme, including recognition of excessive alcohol consumption traits
• SKYCITY shall ensure intoxicated patrons are excluded from entering the premises
• When appropriate, any patron may be asked for verification of identity and proof of age, before being served or sold alcoholic beverages. If such identification cannot be produced, that patron will not be served or supplied with any alcohol
• Staff will tactfully intervene to prevent possible problems arising from excessive alcohol consumption
• No person who appears intoxicated will be served or sold alcohol, allowed to gamble or be allowed to remain on the premises.  The decision by any employee to withhold service cannot be revoked or overruled by another
