The Victorian government has announced widespread reforms to the electronic gambling industry, including new mandatory pre-commitment limits.
Gamblers will be permitted to put a maximum of $100 into an electronic gaming machine at one time, which is down from the current load-up limit of $1,000.
Carded play will also be mandatory for poker machines, which the government says will stop money laundering through gaming venues.
All venues with poker machines, except Crown Casino, will be required to close gaming areas between 4am and 10am.
