The revelation today that the owner of the new Irish pub in the Glenorchy CBD has applied to operate poker machines in the venue is devastating news for the local community. The City already suffers the highest pokies losses of anywhere in the State and to shove more machines into the community would be harmful and selfish in the extreme. Indeed, Glenorchy punters are already losing close to $2m a month on the pokies, almost half of which is known to be gouged from gambling addicts.

It features 650 pokies gaming machines, along with other favourites such as blackjack variants, roulette games, poker, baccarat, sic bo, video poker.

This is a real test for Premier Will Hodgman. He can either speak up and intervene, thereby showing an understanding of the scourge of poker machines and of the need to finally start reigning them in. Or he can do nothing which would prove yet again that Tasmanian governments don’t care about poker machine gambling addicts and instead are entirely beholden to the pokies industry.
