Do without pokie revenue

So the Everglades Country Club has lost $300,000 in poker machine revenue!

Why is this being presented as a bad thing and why are they hoping that if they can get somewhere for smokers to gamble all will be fine?

Shouldn't the headlines be something along the lines of "300,000 stay in pockets of pensioners"?

Poker machines are a terrible thing that cause so many recognised social problems.

It's about time that clubs worked on a new business model.

Pubs and clubs in WA survive without poker machine revenue.

Maybe The Everglades should as well.

And I don't want to hear how they are now doing it so tough that they cant afford to donate a paltry per cent of their profits to local sporting organisations. It's a tired excuse.
