General Comments
Information on pokies from the City of Maribyrnong can be found here. Their 1998 submission can be found here. Their 2003-2005 Responsible Gambling plan can be found here.
Exterior signs on hotel clearly indicate that pokie gaming is available and that this is a gaming hotel. That impression is in line with the facilities inside. There would be a lot of traffic by this corner.
