General Comments.
Appeared to be 3 new pokies - Ambassador brand from Ainsworth? Noted that hese pokies and others have no "i" button allowing gamblers to ascertain odds of winning. Also pokies 37, 38, and 28-30. Other pokies did have an 'i' button. The game rules screen does not expose odds of winning.
Child/car warning on faded sign in window. Unlikely that people parking in main car park and entering venue will see this sign.
Glazing on glass door between the TAB bar and the pokie area says "Lounge Bar".
