This involves an element of skill. But the porkies are mindless, sitting in front of a machine hour after hour, pushing buttons, then doing it again, and again.....

It's not worth putting more than $20 in a poker machine once a year - for fun.

Theft of money from sick people.

I remember years ago a man put his whole business through the pokies and that was in the days when they were one armed bandits..
