This comes in response to a recent analysis showing Australians lost in excess of $11.4 billion AUD (equivalent to $7.74 billion USD!) on electronic gaming machines in a twelve-month period. They contend that a unified strategy across the national government and individual states and territories is urgently required.<\/p>\n<p>Although expenditures on gaming machines (known as &#8220;pokies&#8221; in Australia) decreased in Victoria and New South Wales relative to pre-pandemic figures, possibly due to lockdowns and limitations, other regions experienced growth. Queensland, South Australia, and Tasmania all demonstrated increased spending on pokies compared to 2018\/2019.  Alarmingly, in Victoria alone, losses surpassed $2.2 billion AUD, with the typical gambler losing approximately $2,800.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s crucial to understand that this information, gathered by the experts at Monash University&#8217;s Gambling and Social Determinants Unit, concentrates solely on those machines located in bars and social clubs.  It doesn&#8217;t even factor in casinos!<\/p>\n<p>Tim Costello, a leading advocate for gambling reform, expresses concern that these financial setbacks will persist in their upward trajectory despite the strain of escalating living expenses and stagnant salaries.  &#8220;Unfortunately, it escalates when individuals are under duress,&#8221; Costello elaborated.  &#8220;They&#8217;re either seeking an escape through pokies, or they&#8217;ve arrived at a point of desperation where they rationalize, &#8216;I&#8217;m already in dire straits, I might as well gamble.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>A lawmaker from Australia is expressing concern about the widespread presence of slot machines within the nation, advocating for a dedicated national organization to investigate their consequences. He emphasizes that Australia possesses a disproportionately large quantity of these devices, accounting for 75% of the global total found in bars and social clubs. <\/p>\n<p>This cautionary statement follows a report issued by Victoria&#8217;s gambling regulatory body, which proposes that stricter measures against casino gaming might inadvertently redirect at-risk gamblers and illicit activities to less supervised settings such as pubs and clubs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key players in Australian gaming regulation advocacy are pushing for a nationwide gambling detriment regulatory body.
