| dc.description.abstract | This report outlines research on the effects of three harm minimisation measures introduced between 1993 and 2002 in the ACT: • a $10 maximum bet on EGMs (electronic gaming machines, or ‘poker’ machines); • a mandatory three-hour shutdown of gaming machines each day; • restriction on cash payment of winnings. The Gambling and Racing Control (Code of Practice) Regulations require that winnings above $1,000 must be paid by non-cash means such as a cheque or electronic transfer. ¶ The report also provides a summary of the ACT gambling and regulatory environment and a policy chronology, with particular focus on the history and objectives of the ACT harm minimisation measures under review. | en_AU |
