New Zealand updates pokies

July 17, 2006 on 2:11 pm | In Slot machine overviews |

New Zealand has entered the 21st century - in terms of gaming machine monitoring:

“Work begins today to connect more than 20,000 poker machines in about 1600 pubs and clubs to an electronic monitoring system.”

New Zealand Herald

Strong oversight of pokies turnover, collection and cash is the only way to ensure fair pays and plays for both patrons and venues. On a trip to New Zealand a few years ago, payouts outside of the casino were noted to be very casually controlled.

As noted in a previous posting, perhaps the best reason for the government of New Zealand to tighten regulation is to ensure its tax cut is properly audited.
