I used to work at the casino in Adelaide... got asked to cover the premium rooms and got really good feedback... they asked me to come back and cover them a bunch of times... I was keen cos the tips were amazing... one time I was talking to one of the regulars and she broke down and told me that she was spending all her money at the high limit pokies just so she didn't lose access to the room and that her kids had cut ties with her because of her gambling.... I reported it as a welfare check cos we were trained to do that.... I never got asked back to premium again after that - how bizarre, right? 🙄

@Kronin The club has a responsibility for it's customers, it does not have a right to exploit problem gamblers. By punishing and removing a room attendant that does the right thing to both look after people and as the law requires is blatant non-compliance with gambling laws. Said club not only did the objectiviely wrong thing in their endless pursuit of profit even justifying life ruining exploitation, they need to be shut down and it's owners jailed. Or what, do you think seeking profit is a justification for literally anything? That'd be messed up, and also completely wrong.

There are many stories out there about how gambling has negatively affected people and their families, and the state condones it. Clearly? Why would he be getting sued ffs. I also find the idea of cashless gambling cards, connected to one's identity to be interesting. I wonder how that will impact those addicted to gambling.

This man is an actual, literal hero. Consider this, too. While money laundering is obviously rampant, this is likely one of the least damaging aspects of poker machines. It's damaging society itself, both at a local and national level. For example. Think about how great, and in fact large, the club and hospitality industry was in the 90s if you can still remember back that far, especially in Adelaide. An actual industry, employing thousands, and reaching far outside vanues with music production, label distribution, street magazines, performance arts, record shops, etc, etc. It was a true industry. Poker machines killed that off in less than 12 months. Adelaide, for example, is now basically a ghost town. I can't even imagine the amount of money that has been lost because of this, both from a media industry point of view, and tourism. We used to get busloads of Melbourne ravers rolling up here every week to go to places like Le Rox. All dead. Gone. Nothing here now but tumbleweeds and broken gambling zombies staggering out of venues at 2am in the morning. Also, suicide. How come there hasn't been any published research into gambling associated suicide in Australia? Just how much does it actually cost us? Nobody knows, and those who want to find out, get stomped. That there isn't a royal commission into all this is astounding.

I’ve only ever visited an Australian casino once (Treasury in Bris). I was shocked at the poorly hidden drug dealing and solicitation on view. I won’t mention the sweaty gamblers who did not look like they were enjoying themselves one bit. I know it’s not the pokie clubs, but all gambling looks like it’s the cancer on Australian society. I get the free will/freedom arguments, but human beings are almost hard wired to addiction, with the right stimulus in the right environment. This stuff needs more control.

Cancer of the esophagus is linked to alcohol consumption and smoking (along with other factors). Stress can also lead to an increase of consumption of both, so yeah. This would not be a direct link but I certainly could see how this could be a link in the chain. Best of luck to you Troy and your loved ones xx

@Levi Rehn Unregulated clubs wouldn't be openly accessible to the general public in the way that current clubs are. You don't get Joe and Joanne Bloggs hooked on a gambling addiction in shady inebriated clubs that they'd not normally be aware of. Having legal clubs normalises the idea of giving away your hard earned on the slim chance you'll get some back. It's a bizarre activity that produces nothing of worth. Shut them all down, before more folks get sucked into gambling addiction. Bring back the live music venues and other activities that actually had some social benefit.

Yet the Government is supposed to provide protection for the communities against these self serving businesses who don't give a damn about the communities in which they are pray on. There is huge gambling problems within so many communities in so many countries. Yet why Governments close their eyes is unfathomable. It is an addiction for many and a source for criminal activity.

Wow, reminds me of the private prisons here in Vic. I don't know how they stand now as it has been years, but back a few years ago I knew someone who worked in one that was sextually assaulted by another staffer. She reported it nearly immediately but the prison managers harassed all witnesses into silence and covered up evidence. The Police were forced to drop the case and she was left with severe mental trauma. She tried at the very least to get onto workers compensation but the damned fought tooth an nail to not get her on. But PTSD was evident to the doctors so they had to give her money. Luckily she is doing much better now but she was never the same after that...
