There was a considerable continuity of control from the baccarat schools of the early 1960s to the casinos of the 1970s. The baccarat school operating at the Victoria Club in Kings Cross became the Forbes Club still under the management of Eric O’Farrell of Elizabeth Bay, Percival Galea of Coogee and Ronald Lee. The established Goulburn Club at 51-7 Goulburn Street, owned by George Zizinos Walker and Christos Paizes of South Coogee, simply added roulette to baccarat, recruited a bevy of hostesses, and polished up its image. Similarly, the baccarat school at the Kellett Club in Kellett Street, Kings Cross became the Carlyle Casino, and another established baccarat school became the 33 Club on Oxford Street.
