casinos are exempt

I wonder how many Covid-19 viruses are on each pokie machine "play" button?

lol... yeah, I mentioned this in Sir lastnail's thread here the other day (reply #15):

Greg, .JaSin. and I (and everyone else, I'm sure) all had a good laugh.  ;D

I was there about 5 years ago and the play buttons -
the most used button on
every machine were sticky and filthy
as though they had never been cleaned.

Yuck - it's a Covid-19 breeding ground full of Chinese compulsive gamblers.

mate I got news for you. I was tipped off about the hoarding, months before it happened so I was already prepared for it and got in early when people were still being civil to each other. ;)

Whilst this dude called it out the media was saying absolutely nothing at the time until weeks later when the markets crashed and then it was spread all over the pages. If you didnlt follow this dude for the last few months then you lose ;)

Now come on, Bobby. You and I know that the casinos will be doing an excellent job of disinfecting the machines, etc. after each person loses their money... oops... "has a flutter".

Just like the airports seem to be doing such an excellent job of checking passengers for coronavirus.

(sarcasm mode/off).

Most of us could stand to lose a stone or so


but pardon me for not slavishly following the news

and even if I had, I most likely wouldn't have believed Aussies were so easily panicked

(but then, how many in this country are actually Aussie these days)

I don't think they ever clean those filthy machines.

Years ago on the Gold Coast, I thought I'd been led into hell when our hosts, for a lark, took us down into the gambling dens at Jupiters


it stank

it was literally like the opium dens out of old black and white films

Asians slumped over, looking like the undead


Hosts told us they don't leave the place for days on end

what is it about the oriental mind that leads to gambling addiction and all it entails?

The trick is not to follow the main media ;) Look for alternative sources that don't have a direct line to the whitehouse ;)

Apparently they are practising approved "social distancing" by turning off every second poker machine.
But as has already been pointed out, the buttons could be swarming with viruses.

As we all know, money talks, and governments are pretty much at the mercy of big business

Wait until it's full then weld the doors shut.

'Why is Crown Casino still open ?'


Coz casino operators have 'deep pockets' ?

govt. haven't forcibly shut down any businesses. Why should they shut the casino? They've just put restrictions on the number of people at any one time. I'd imagine the casino will limit it's 100 to the high rollers room.

If businesses are closing it's because their customers stopped showing up. The casino will do the same if it becomes unprofitable to keep open.

Go to Crown Casino -

get ready to press your Covid-19 play button.

if they're open they're going to need to count the people or risk fines. Do you realise that many of these types of businesses use electronic counters on their doors anyway?

The ridiculous arbitrary number of 100 includes staff as well.

How many people would be working on the floor of a casino?

Dozens, I would suspect.

For every casino employee in the building, that's one less gambler who can come in.

not for a hundred people. They'd want as many high rollers as they can get.

had another thought. Does that restriction of 100 apply to the building, or per room?  If it's per room they could easily put up a few walls and create a larger number of smaller rooms, thereby increasing total patronage.

I believe it's per room.
