Pokies money laundering and winnings fraud.

The secret dealings of organised crime generally do not make it to the mass media, and the ones that do are usually the smaller players, who are competition to the main syndicates, or just simply rogue traders.

In the world of night clubs members (girls) are ‘employed’ (not physically, but in the means of kick backs, drinks, drugs, etc) to entice patronage of a particular venue. This is a well known and practiced fact.

This is also true of in the gambling arena. An interview with a ‘patron’ revealed that their sole purpose was to ‘entice’ others to the venue. The ‘enticer’ then revealed that they are given chips to gamble with, and to register at the venue to show that there is patronage.


The networked poker machines then give out a ‘winning’ to the ‘enticer’ of which they have been given specific instructions that the money IS NOT ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE PREMISES and MUST be put back into the system.
The person revealed that this is how the drug money is laundered through the system.

The winnings are carefully controlled, and the significant winnings are NOT given to just anyone.

I had suspected that this was probably how money was being laundered. The people who run these establishments are rotten to the core and need to be outed.
