I predict that legislation will be amended that reduces the maximum number of machines per premises. Of course this won't be retrospective and premises that currently have X number of machines will be allowed to keep them, it will only affect new applications.

This will allow pollies to say "Look, we've reduced the number of poker machines" but obviously won't provide any help to addicted gamblers. It also won't reduce the Governments income from pokies.

At least it will appear positive, which is all that anyone connected with these insidious machines wants to do. There is simply too much money involved.
