A motion seeks to reduce the number of machines by 50 per cent over five years.
Australia.- The New South Wales Labor Part Conference is to debate a proposal to gradually reduce the number of gaming machines in the state. New South Wales currently has around 87,000 slots, dubbed poker machines locally. Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne said he would table a motion to reduce that by half over five years.
The proposal comes amid political pressure on the state’s Labor premier Chris Minns to strengthen gambling reforms as player losses continue to rise.
“In the past year losses from poker machines in NSW have grown from AU$8bn to more than AU$9bn, the problem is getting worse,” Byrne said in a statement cited by local media. “The vast majority of that money is coming out of the pockets of people in working-class and lower-income communities, the very people Labor exists to represent.”
