I honestly feel very sorry for the group of people I see throwing money into machines as I walk past them to the TAB. On the very rare and regretful occasion, I might put a max of $20 in a machine.

I am virtually always left walking away 5 mins later wondering why I spent 5 mins losing $20 when I could have used that money at the TAB and it would most likely have lasted 10 times longer.

The problem with pokies is that there is no skill or control involved. At least at the TAB I am somewhat more master of my own fate!

I believe pokie machines should be turned off between 3AM and 11Am every morning because there is no reason why someone should be spending those hours of the day infront of a machine.

At least the TAB is closed for 12 hours every day!
