On the topic of poker machines, half a century ago the return to players was 92 per cent. These days this figure has decreased to 85 per cent.
The majority of clubs in the 60s prospered despite the commonly held conception that, in cases, not all of the 8 per cent profit made its way to the club’s coffers.
Therefore how can the reduced return be justified? The most obnoxious aspect of the machines is club’s machine promotions which are held on pension day.
The correct place for the insidious machines is 600 fathoms deep in the pacific ocean.
