The problem is not so much gambling as a whole (although there is WAAAAAYY too much gambling advertising on TV), but rather the addicitve nature and pre-programmed designed to lose aspect of pokies. It should be pretty easy to work that out.

So if people had a better chance of winning you'd be less annoying about this? :D

It's a double-edged sword.
Taking advantage of human frailty... and lack of self-control.

They're legal, and not going anywhere any time soon. Deal with it.

Ban Pokies in Victoria ? Ain't gonna happen. But, if it did, NSW clubs, Albury to Wentworth would be over the moon with delight !!!!!!!

Ban pokies, ban betting, ban smoking, ban anything not politically correct blah blah blah.

How about people take some ownership on their life and stop blaming everything else.

Not sure if this has been said already, but looking at the recent article in The Age it appears one particular club is making an absolute mint from two venues. Which club is making the most money from destroying families through gambling...? Why, #TheFamilyClub... of course.

Banning smoking in venues is not banning smoking everywhere; think about the last time you came home from a bar with your eyes stinging from all the smoke.

That was a great initiative.

Compare their figures to every other team in the hunt for a top 4 spot; they're boned if they fall out of the 8 for an extended period.

I would say they're worse off in terms of how reliant they are on consistent finals appearances, but take out gambling revenue and it's a much closer race.

The pokies venue in Hobson Bay must not pay any rates.
