14 June 2008 Inspection Notes:


'Cannot Win' talker signs
Signs had been moved from the top box. Corrections had been made to the signs on pokies #17 and #20. However, apart from 4 signs, all signs were placed above the animated reels on the video box so that they were not visible when the pokie gambler looks into the video face. Signs on machines with a curved top box remain at a high point on the pokie.
