\u00a0David Harris<\/strong>, said: \u201cThis trial is bigger, broader and delivers nine times more machines than we committed to during the election campaign. The Independent Panel has lit the next step in our reform agenda. I want to thank Mr Foggo and the Panel for their ongoing work coming together to build consensus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThe strong interest in participating in the cashless gaming trial proves just how serious clubs and hotels are about working with the Government to reduce gambling harm and money laundering associated with electronic gaming machines. The industry is clearly behind us as we undergo these landmark gaming reforms as part of our commitment to addressing money laundering and gambling harm in NSW.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Panel chair Michael Foggo<\/strong> added: \u201cThe independent panel \u2013 which comprises key industry, law enforcement, community, and harm minimisation representatives \u2013 has been buoyed by the large number of applications it received for the trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cThis demonstrates the depth of genuine support this trial has in the industry and its commitment to addressing gambling harm and money laundering. We look forward to working with the trial participants in the coming months and monitoring and gaining insights from this important project.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
