GAMBLING IN AUSTRALIA

AN AUSTRALIAN TRADITION

It might not be quite as well known as Australia’s love of sport, the beach, and an ice cold beer – but Australians love to gamble as well.
There’s a long history of ‘having a flutter’ in Australia.

No game in the history of slots has tried to bridge the gap between the two.

But on June 2 and 3, a number of Lumiere’s machines had spit out far more money than they’d consumed, despite not awarding any major jackpots, an aberration known in industry parlance as a negative hold. Since code isn’t prone to sudden fits of madness, the only plausible explanation was that someone was cheating.
