The figures for Pokies players in January and February are in and it seems that players in Queensland are not winning very much. The 42,000 machines that sit in clubs and hotels in the state took $153 million in Jan and $141 million in February that works out at about $3500 a minute.
The figures were released by the Office of Gaming and Liquor regulation and mean that Queensland, as a state could receive more than $600 million in pokie revenue to put towards community projects. Although the figures may seem like a large amount of money, it must be remembered that Queensland has a population of over 4million people and much of these profits go towards community causes.
However, if you think you may have a problem gambling in Queensland then you should contact Gambling Help who offer support and help to those who have issues with problem gambling.
