Almost 4,500 poker machines across 24 local government areas will be included in the New South Wales government’s cashless gambling trial to begin early next year.
The expanded trial will take place across 28 clubs of varying sizes, with advocates hoping it leads to universal cashless gaming in NSW, after both major parties put forward gambling reform plans at the March election.
In July, the government announced Michael Foggo, a former liquor, gaming and racing commissioner would lead a panel of 16 industry representatives and reform advocates, who would then report back to the government in November 2024.
