Poker Machine Fraud - Government supported

The Herald Sun newspaper has published in late June, a story in it's Sunday edition, detailing how poker machines are 'rigged' fraudulently into a 'near-hit' to lure the gambler to play more.

The method was outlined by an inside source, that naturally has NOT been named by the Herald Sun.

A Gambler can pay the casino up to $6000 per day for sitting on a chair.

Casinos have a clear policy that states that a gambler is NOT allowed to observe or implement a method that can be favourable to themselves. If this is noticed by the casino, the gambler is then expelled.

By this VERY same policy, the casino breaks the very rules it employs against its patrons, and there is NO penalty applied against the casino.

It is a well known fact within the industry, that casinos are used for :
money laundering,
the proceedings of crimes are dealt within the walls of the casino, and
bribes can be taken away / as cashed in chips from fictitious 'winnings'.

Government officials and Law enforcement agencies are on the payroll of the casino.

The Government deliberately turns a 'blind eye', as the casino, pays the government $5 billion per year.

Australia's drug industry is worth approx $18 billion in 2008.

There is DELIBERATLEY NO investigation into the fraudulent operation of the poker machines, and even if there was the report would indicate that there are NO problems.
