Australia’s biggest Keno operator can now operate machines in all manner of venues across Victoria. It is expected that the deal will add $20million each year to the company’s earnings and Tabcorp will roll out the machines in at least 1,000 venues. Now all we wait for is Tabcorp’s CEO to call out Betfair once again. We hear they were calling you Elmer Fudd again Mr Kupper.
Talking to ABC.net.au, National’s Duty Senator for New South Wales Township Lyne, John Williams, commented, “These changes will have a disastrous impact on the clubs in the Lyne area. We have 31 clubs there, more than 100,000 members. The cost will be close to $23 million, that’s what the clubs are telling us, to install these regulations about members having a card and limiting their gambling. I just think that will be devastating for our clubs, especially the smaller clubs.”
If the pre-commitment technology is implemented and Aussie gamblers still feel the need to gamble, then we recommend they buy a couple of Koalas. They’ll play for hours and never tell you to stop. As long as you continually feed them eucalyptus.
