NRL star Nathan Hindmarsh talks about his poker machine addiction

Pokie profits in NSW are more than a quarter of a billion dollars for the top 25 pubs, but the community is asking at what cost? Picture: News CorpSource:News Limited

TALK about hitting the jackpot.

NSW’s top 25 pokie pubs, all based in the greater Sydney region, raked in nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in profit in the past financial year, it has been revealed.

Liquor and Gaming NSW published the list of the state’s top 25 earners, with the El Cortez Hotel in Fairfield sitting in top place.

But there are warnings that the “mega profits” have come at significant community cost.

If you’re planning a night out with friends, come and explore Crown’s stylish and exciting line up of world-class, wine, cocktail, poolside and casual bars. The Western Australian Government requires Crown Perth to maintain a mandatory contact register of all guests and employees as an additional protection measure to control the spread of.

Thirteen of the 25 hotels are in the Fairfield and Canterbury/Bankstown region.

Fairfield, the city’s most disadvantaged area, demanded a freeze on new machines in clubs and pubs in at-risk communities in a submission to the state government.

The 25 hotels made a total of $253 million in poker machine profit during 2016/17, according to NSW Greens MP Justin Field.

The NSW government anticipates raising more than $100 million in tax from the top 25 hotels, Fairfax Media reports.

Mr Field says the hotels’ “mega profits” cause immeasurable harm to families and communities.

“Pokies are highly addictive products,” he said in a statement on Tuesday.

“(There are) powerful lobby groups pushing in their favour and covering up their true impacts.” The Greens MP is urging the state government to protect the vulnerable and wants the government to consider $1 bet limits along with an acceleration in the overall reduction in the number of poker machines in NSW.

Fairfield City Mayor Frank Carbone in July called on the NSW government to stop investing in poker machines in his community.

Today, he again urged the NSW government to protect vulnerable members of his community.

Mr Carbone said while Fairfield is home to 2.6 per cent of NSW’s population it houses four per cent of the state’s poker machines and contributes nine per cent of tax revenue from pokies.

All this while suffering from unemployment rates double the state’s average, the mayor said.

“We urge the state government to correct the imbalance of tax revenue received from Fairfield City and to invest it back into the local community through the creation of jobs and infrastructure.”

ADDICTIVE PROFITS

NSW has half of Australia’s gaming machines and 10 per cent of the total worldwide, with about 95,000 machines across the state.

Players can feed in as much as $7000 into just one machine.

About $8.27 billion was gambled on pokies in Fairfield alone, and $80 billion played across NSW in 2015-16.

That’s around 55 per cent of the national total gambled on poker machines, which was $135.7 billion in 2014-15.

About 85 per cent of what punters gamble is paid out in winnings, but that still leaves a not insignificant $6 billion in revenue for clubs and venues in NSW alone.

State governments claim around 25 per cent tax on the machines’ earnings.

In Western Australia, pokies are restricted to casinos only.

In July, the Victorian Government froze the number of pokies in that state until 2042 as part of a suite of reforms.

Australia has the highest gambling losses per capita worldwide, dwarfing casino hub Singapore. An analysis by The Economist early this year revealed Australians lost more per person than any other nation in 2016 — a massive $1292, averaged out across the population, not just gamblers ($11.6 billion in total).

The reason? Pokies. Losses from the gaming machines found in pubs and clubs across the nation were bigger than the total per capita gambling losses of nearly every other country — largely because of Australia’s permissive bet limit rules, which allow punters to lose up to $1498 an hour.

REFORM CONSIDERED

NSW Racing Minister Paul Toole, who oversees Liquor and Gaming NSW, said the government is considering reforms to the scheme which examines the impact of gaming on communities and strategies to address negative impacts. “The government will be considering all the evidence during this process, not just numbers cherrypicked by the Greens,” he told AAP.

Meanwhile, new federal welfare measures announced on Tuesday — which are designed to stop job seekers spending taxpayer dollars on drugs — are to be trialled in neighbouring Canterbury-Bankstown.

They could lead to less money being pumped into the pokies, the federal government argues.

Anyone who tests positive for certain illicit drugs will have 80 per cent of their dole payment quarantined in a cashless welfare card.

“We hope (the final 20 per cent) is still used for the intent of which welfare was provided — rather than used at the pokies,” Social Services Minister Christian Porter told reporters

Mr Porter said a similar cashless welfare card trial at Ceduna in South Australia led to a dramatic reduction in the local club’s poker machine revenue.

The announcement of further easing of restrictions in Victoria and NSW is welcome news for many licensed venues as new rules come into effect around Australia.

Victoria has been the strictest Australian state during the pandemic, but the Government will finally allow patrons to have a drink without a meal and up to 50 people to attend venues from next week.

However, Australian Hotels Association state chief Paddy O’Sullivan said the decision would only help a small number of pubs.

“If you want to go beyond 100 people in a pub, you have to have a massive 400 square metres,” he told the Herald Sun.

“In a small pub you can only have so many people in your venue. It’s a killer.”

He urged the Victorian Government to match Western Australia’s rule of one person per two square metres.

Here’s the full rundown of current restrictions around the country.

Victoria

From Monday, June 22, an increase from 20 to 50 seated patrons has been announced for restaurants, cafes, pubs and clubs, with the ability to purchase alcoholic drinks without ordering food.

However, Victorians must be willing to provide their contact details at the door before ordering a drink. And the four square metre rule for indoor gatherings still has to be observed.

Standalone TABs will also reopen, while TABs in pubs will need to adhere to venue restrictions on patron limits.

From Monday, July 20, pokies at pubs, clubs and the casino will reopen.

NSW

In NSW, the state government is going a step further than Victoria and scrapping the 50-person limit at indoor venues altogether from July 1.

Instead, venue owners must follow the one person per four square metres rule. And all activity in hospitality venues needs to continue to be seated.

NSW was the first state to allow poker machines to resume operation on June 1, with social distancing rules in place.

Music festival and nightclubs will continue to remain closed in July as the heath advice remains that these venues and activities pose a high risk of the virus spreading. It is anticipated that restrictions will be eased further in August if community transmission of the virus remains low.

The NSW Government will also relax rules on granting new liquor licences in the Sydney CBD in a move to reinvigorate Sydney’s nightlife.

Minister for Customer Service Victor Dominello said: “These changes will kick-start a new era in Sydney’s 24-hour economy.

“In some CBD locations, this will be the first time in 11 years that applications for new venues will be considered.”

Northern Territory

Stage three coronavirus restrictions eased from noon on June 5 in the Northern Territory.

Territorians no longer need to order food while consuming alcohol at a pub or bar. The two-hour time limit for patrons attending venues has also been lifted, as has the 10-patron table limit. And all licensed gaming activities have resumed.

But other rules within pubs and bars remain in place, such as physical distancing.

From Friday, June 19, maximum occupancy limits per room in a venue will be increased from 20 to 75 people per room. The total cap per venue will increase from 80 to 300 people. However, venues will only be permitted to hold one person per 4 square metres of floor space.

From June 29, the new rules mean there will be no total cap on numbers for indoor venues such as pubs and restaurants – just the 4 square metre rule – plus patrons in venues will need to remain seated.

Poker machine rooms in pubs will also be reopened from June 29.

Western Australia

From June 6, a 2-square-metre rule replaced the one person per 4 square metres requirement in WA venues, and indoor and outdoor gatherings of up to 300 people per venue were allowed.

Patrons at pubs and bars are able to drink alcohol without buying a meal, though they have to remain seated.

TABs and Pub TABs have reopened for betting and watching events, but Crown Casino gaming floor remains closed for gambling.

Tasmania

Under the new rules, from June 5, venues in Tasmania have allowed to service food and/or drinks to up to 40 seated patrons at pubs, clubs, bars, RSLs and community clubs.

Each setting where dining occurs must not have a density of seated patrons greater than 1 per 4 square metres.

The restriction on the number of diners applies to the venue as a whole regardless of whether the venue has multiple separate dining rooms.

Contact details for the person who made the booking or at least one diner from a walk-in group must be recorded for future contact tracing if needed.

Betting services and TAS Keno may operate within venues. Gaming areas (electronic gaming machines) must remain closed. Casinos and nightclubs remain closed, except for cafes, bars restaurants within these venues. Up to 20 people are allowed in TAB retail outlets.

ACT

Canberra’s hospitality venues will be allowed to welcome up to 100 people per enclosed space from midday, June 19. Patrons will be allowed to drink alcohol without ordering a meal, but they must be seated and in groups of no more than 10 people.

Venues must maintain a one person per 4sqm in total occupancy loading,

Keno and TAB facilities are allowed to open within licensed venues, but poker machines must remain closed.

Queensland

Stage 2 eased restrictions came into effect in Queensland on Monday, June 1.

The new rules mean licensed premises can offer dining-in or seated drinking for up to 20 patrons, or more with an approved industry COVID Safe plan.

For any dining-in or seated drinking service with a COVID Safe plan that allows for more than 20 patrons, it must be divided into defined areas that will have no more than 20 patrons within them, who must be separated from other defined areas by a minimum of 1.5 metres at all times, remain seated and stay in the defined area and be served at their table.

The patron limit only applies to in-venue dining and drinking if an area of 4 square metres per patron is provided.

A maximum of 100 people will be allowed in casinos, gaming rooms and gambling venues from July 10, according to the State Government’s reopening roadmap.
