NSW Labor has vowed to reduce the number of pokies across the state and enforce a mandatory cashless gaming trial on hundreds of machines in pubs and clubs as part of a new election policy aimed at countering the Perrottet government’s sweeping gambling reforms.
“I said from the outset this is a complicated policy area and we needed an evidenced-based approach to make sure any measures we introduced would work and wouldn’t have any unintended consequences,” he said. Minns said a Labor government would also reduce the poker machine cash feed-in limits from $5000 to $500 from July 1.Louise Kennerley
While Labor has now committed to a mandatory trial for the cashless technology, Premier Dominic Perrottet last year announced that his government would introduce cashless gaming for poker machines across the state this year.Perrottet’s reform came in the wake of a Crime Commission report which recommended cashless gaming across NSW to curb the amount of criminal money being laundered through the machines.
