Australia.- Wohlsen Consulting has reported that\u00a0gaming revenue at Queensland’s hotels and clubs\u00a0<\/strong>was up 17.3 per cent year on year in June to AU$253.2 (US$171.3m).\u00a0However, the figure was down 3 per cent when compared to the previous month, when\u00a0gaming revenue came in at AU$260.87m (US$176.4m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel market share rose from 56.8 per cent to 58.3 per cent month on month, while the club market share fell from 43.2 per cent to 41.7 per cent. Figures do not include casino revenue. There are currently\u00a040,212 machines in operation<\/strong>, each with an average daily income of AU$210.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Authorities\u00a0have recently announced the introduction of\u00a0legislative reforms to the Queensland casino regulatory framework<\/a>. The Casino Control and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022 proposes\u00a0tougher gambling laws, higher penalties<\/strong>\u00a0and more gambling harm minimisation measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further legislative changes may be considered following the completion of the\u00a0ongoing investigation into The Star Entertainment Group<\/a>. A review of the company’s suitability to hold a licence in the state started this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
