Liquor and Gaming NSW figures show machines in pubs account for 44 per cent of all losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Australia.- As Premier Dominic Perrottet continues to seek support to move forward with his cashless gaming card policy<\/a>, Liquor and Gaming NSW has recently revealed that in 2022 gamblers lost more than AU$2.1bn on poker machines in less than 100 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The regulator also revealed daily profits from poker machines in pubs and clubs hit AU$23m as player losses rose 11 per cent over the past year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slot machines in bars now account for 44 per cent of all losses<\/strong>, even though they house only 26 per cent of the state’s poker machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of the 86,568 poker machines in clubs and pubs across NSW, Canterbury-Bankstown slots generated AU$182m in the third quarter of 2022, Fairfield AU$174m and Cumberland AU$124m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Poker machines in Blacktown brought in AU100m, while pokies in the Sydney metropolitan area brought in AU$96m<\/strong>. In Penrith, the machines made a profit of AU$64m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As per regional NSW machines, between July and September, on the Central Coast, they generated AU$85m, AU$53m in Wollongong and AU$51m in Newcastle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Monday (January 23), Perrottet<\/strong> ruled out the possibility that non-metropolitan areas could be exempt<\/a> from the state\u2019s cashless gaming card policy. His denial came after Nationals leader and deputy premier Paul Toole<\/strong> said he had discussed the possibility<\/a> with the Perrottet government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Liquor and Gaming NSW figures show machines in pubs account for 44 per cent of all losses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":8492,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"Liquor and Gaming NSW reported over AU$2.1bn in poker machine losses in less than 100 days in 2022, with pub machines disproportionately contributing 44% of losses despite housing only 26% of the state's machines.
