Home and Away's Mackenzie Booth sparks suspicion in illegal gambling plot

 Are Logan and Dean getting too close to the truth?

Home and Away spoilers follow for UK viewers.

Home and Away's Mackenzie Booth struggles to cover her tracks after breaking the law on UK screens next week.

Mac has taken a major risk by hosting an illegal gambling night at Salt, hoping that the extra income from high-end clientele will help to solve the restaurant's financial crisis.

In next week's episodes on Channel 5, Mac's barman Ryder Jackson is on a high after the success of the first poker event.

Ryder even interrupts Mac's latest date with Logan Bennett to privately pitch the idea of more gambling nights.

Despite her reluctance to take this risk on a regular basis, Mac agrees to discuss ideas with Ryder at a more appropriate time.

Before long, Mac is intrigued as Ryder points out that four more poker nights could be enough to put her back in the black.

Mac agrees and preparation begins for the next event, but Logan is suspicious over these shifty conversations and demands to know what's going on.

When Logan gets nowhere with Mac, he seeks Dean's insight into what she might be hiding.

Dean tries to do some digging by asking Ryder what's going on, but he'll only confirm that Mac is planning some "themed nights" for Salt to boost profits.

A sceptical Dean struggles to get his head around this, wondering why themed nights would have to be such a big secret.

Meanwhile, Mac's idea of more poker nights goes down badly with Felicity Newman, who helped to pull off the first one.

Felicity argues that the events will lose their sense of exclusivity and also attract suspicion if they take place too frequently.

However, when Felicity's boyfriend Tane Parata points out that another poker night could be fun, she soon changes her mind and tells Mac that she's back on board.

Will the risk pay off for Mac, or could Logan and Dean's suspicions cause problems for her?
