Video Poker 247 - Video Poker Expansion Not Wanted

The NSW Government is looking to expand their existing video poker games by allowing Keno as well to be played in pubs. .They say that they will be able to increase the $4 billion a year they are currently getting from the video poker games by adding more games and different kinds.

Residents say absolutely not, that they feel that the video poker games are a blight on their society and that they should be removing games not adding to them. The South Sydney Leagues Club is among those that are against the video poker games and any kind of expansion, and are in the process of removing all of their games.

Even though the club will lose roughly $7 million in video poker revenue, they say that it is more important to protect their community from the games as they are nothing but bad news. They say that their community has said that they don’t want the video poker games there, so they are taking out all of theirs in a show of support.

A recent survey showed that 84% of the community wants the video poker games removed from Victoria and from the country in general. They say that the video poker games offer nothing but heartbreak and grief, and that many of society’s social ills stem from those that are addicted to them. They do not want to see that added to.
