Pokies!!!

Slot machines are called 'pokies' here in Oz and are everywhere... fish and chip shops, surf clubs etc... Aussies are serious gamblers.  In Queensland last year, punters lost an average of $3,600 A MINUTE: that's just one state in Oz too!!  We do the lottery on Saturdays which costs us $7.60c a week so we're helping to bump up the average I suppose.
