I have been told that up to 3 R.S.L.'s will close after Christmas, all have been run very poorly. You just have to have promotions going on all the time, just like the big boys do, you must have the place looking busy. Nothing worse than sitting in a venue that has no one in it. Wake up you lot.

Woollies have them, Coles has some, which supermarkets are left that don't get their hands dirty with pokies and other gambling activities? I feel violated.

ONE in four Victorian RSL sub-branches is likely to close in the next 10 years as clubs are hit by financial pressures, an ageing membership base and poor management.
Ten of the state's 63 licensed sub-branches have asked ask for financial assistance to survive, with many of them being lent hundreds of thousands of dollars by Anzac House. One club received a $1.3 million loan to finance major changes aimed at boosting its bottom line. In the past two years three sub-branches have either closed or ceased commercial operations - at Eltham, Dromana-Red Hill and inner-city Windsor Lane - and this month members of the Aspendale-Edithvale sub-branch voted to merge with Chelsea. RSL state president Maj-Gen David McLachlan said there was a cloud over five bayside clubs, with up to three facing the prospect of closure or mergers because they were asset-rich but cash-poor. Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. .End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar. He said about 80 of the state's 300 sub-branches might be forced to merge or close within 10 years. Mr McLachlan said the state branch was keeping a closer watch on sub-branches as gaming machine revenue slumped 5 per cent on average across the state. Clubs were now required to file monthly financial reports. One suburban sub-branch treasurer said the problem was often the "sheer incompetence" of local elected committees who were resistant to change and resentful of state office intervention. He said: "Unless they get people with business acumen on committees, many clubs will go to the wall."

Safeway don't like this site because it exposes the wrongs of POKIE's....BUT, Safeway / Woollies are quick to go around to Councils to complain about others. They hate this site.
Keep up the good work.. Pokie watch.

Strange that at a time when Poker Machine Reforms seem to be a real possibility that the Victorian Government has seemingly pulled their Poker Machine help ads in favour of the much lesser Online Gambling type ads they now feature.
Naturally they take in Billions from Pokies and far far less from Online Gambling, so is this a way of fulfilling their Anti Gambling dollar commitment rather sneakily, because just as addicts are addicted to the Pokies this Government is as heavily addicted to the revenue it gets from them and surely would hardly want to seem to be in some way supportive at this time, of the implementation of controls to the machines costing them money as well. |

I have always found this venue to be very proactive against problem gamblers. The fact that this venue is a Club actually means the staff know its members really well.

Just found out that there is a very big push with the Pokies people to get the Gillard Government out of office.. This is so they can have NO restrains placed on their Industry, good move Woollies.

Have people noticed how the main bars are closing early at Pubs and the patrons told they can go through to the Pokies, just so they can take more of your money...This stinks of greed to me.

Cloes hotels are activley seeking to get parents to hand off their children to others so that they will come in and gamble during school holidays. I find the fact that they are promoting this disgusting.

How do we control the poker machine damage?
Firstly we should look at tobacco packaging, an eqivalent product that has reeked havoc in our health system. Firstly turn off the whizzing bangs and lights and replace them with pictures graphically displaying the effects of playing this machine. Destroyed lives, hungry children, baillifs repossessing houses, angry and frustrated relatives, suicides, and overcrowded prisons And clear written warnings that playing this machine is highly addictive not only to the player but to the people governing them. When I buy my cigarettes and every time I choose to smoke one I am reminded of the damage that this form of “legitimate entertainment” can cause. As members of the community we should have a say in how dangerous products are marketed

Tabcorp Holdings undertook as a firm commitment in 2004 AND 2005 to ensure that ALL of their venues would keep all gambling machines functional and useable until closing time of the venue. They agreed to this measure with Michael Heaton QC, Independent Person presiding over an Independent COmplaint Resolution Process action, managing a complaint from a consumer who was found to have been harmed b ythe practice of early closing of machines. The consumer was awarded a payout by Tabaret venues eventually but the consumer refused to take the money because it would have meant keeping silent.
Point is...early machine-closing was found to exacerbate an addicted problem gambler's spending by inciting anxiety, frustration, fear and desire to play harder and faster, similar to study findings that examined poker machine users' behaviour when it was argued that machines must not become 'scarce commodities' in venues. The Venue Operators' Code of Practice was found to have been breached by venues who closed machines early. The Tabcorp venues that we have visited since, have all broken this rule (except Aces) and the promise by Tabcorp Holdings has been ignored and allowed to be broken. www.dutyofcare.org.au Protest with Duty of Care Inc on Sunday 24th August 2008 at Sydney's Tumbalong Park, Darling Harbour, at 10.30am. Wear a mask that shows your loathing of poker machines....and come and join us as an 'unidentified' body...see our site for mask suggestions and details. Please send on? Libby Mitchell.

6th January inspection. The person who undertook this inspection is either blind and/or bias against pokies. More than 1 clock, coffee machine actually closer to the nearest machine than the ATM, the room is basically littered with pamphlets/leaflets etc as per gambling rules (not just on back machines). Get the facts straight before reporting on bollocks.
