Blinded by the lights: How can we escape from the pokies zone?

A pokies addiction put Carolyn Crawford in jail on the age of 64. She is convinced that cashless cards with a spending restrict would have stored her from stealing greater than $400,000.

By Jewel Topsfield

Pokies genericCredit: Flavio Brancaleone

It’s 3.24am on a Wednesday morning within the pokies room at a lodge in Melbourne’s south-east.

I am surrounded by flashing machines with names like Japanese Empress, Immortal Shogun, Lightning Money, Caribbean Gold and Fortunate Break.

Lightning within the form of a dragon jags across animated screens. Pavlovian ka-chings, jangly music and the clink of cascading digital coins ricochet around the room. Behind me cymbals clash and a golden buddha laughs to have fun a win: Ha Ha Ha.

There are six of us here taking part in the pokies at this hour.

A woman in entrance of me seems hypnotised by the display screen. She barely moves, rhythmically urgent the play button as reels of scarab beetles, Cleopatras and sphinxes whir around. Every few minutes she unzips her clutch and feeds another crisp $50 invoice into the slot.

‘The only approach I can describe it to you is every little thing else is gone’: Anna Bardsley.Credit score: Wayne Taylor

Anna Bardsley, who misplaced 10 years of her life to the pokies, has sat playing on this identical cavernous room at 3am.

She says the trance-like state I observe, the place gamblers are so absorbed they lose track of time and become unaware of what is going on round them, is named “the zone”.

“The solely approach I can describe it to you is all the things else is gone. You just go somewhere else as a result of they mesmerise you. And poker machines are designed to do that.”

Poker machines have been called the “crack cocaine of gambling” and “electronic morphine”.

Victorians lost $1.58 billion on them in pubs and clubs in the first half of this financial yr. If the pattern continues, the state is on observe to document annual pokie losses of greater than $3 billion for the primary time.

A national study, revealed within the Journal of Behavioral Addictions this month, discovered “unambiguous evidence” that electronic gaming machines are liable for 51 to 57 per cent of playing issues in Australia.

‘There are those that deal with the machine as if it’s a person’: Associate Professor Charles Livingstone, Monash College.

At the least 36,000 Victorians have a serious playing problem at any one time, in keeping with Monash University gambling policy knowledgeable Professor Charles Livingstone. One other 215,000 are affected, including kids and companions.

Poker machines stimulate the brain in a manner that in many instances, Livingstone says, leads to addiction with symptoms just like those associated with cocaine use.

“It’s a very, actually powerful addiction as a result of it’s generated by neurochemicals, which the machines stimulate very effectively.”

Last year Tasmania announced a nation-main scheme to usher in necessary cashless cards for poker machines by the tip of 2024.

Players might want to set day by day loss limits of as much as $100, monthly limits of up to $500 and annual limits of as much as $5000, which may only be raised if the participant proves they’ll afford it.

NSW will observe go well with if the Coalition claims victory on the March election. Its reforms will ban the use of money and transfers from credit score playing cards and introduce obligatory self-imposed participant limits on losses.

The Victorian authorities says it should proceed to monitor the arrangements for resorts and clubs throughout the state to make sure the state has the appropriate regulatory settings and reserves the suitable to make further modifications.

The impression of poker machine hurt is proportionately higher in NSW, the place there are much more gaming machines per head of inhabitants. Victoria has also launched more durable maximum wager limits on machines and caps on the number of machines allowed at venues.

However Carolyn Crawford believes she wouldn’t have ended up in prison if she had a cashless card with a sensible spending restrict.

“Why would I steal? I wouldn’t have been in a position to spend.”

Crawford is a genial grandmother of six, who lives in a neat unit in Frankston decorated with photographs of her family and finest buddy since faculty.

‘I’d never had a parking ticket in my life and right here I used to be stealing money from a company’: Carolyn Crawford.Credit: Wayne Taylor

In 2016 she was sentenced to jail at the age of sixty four for stealing $407,000 from her employer to feed the pokies. “I’d by no means had a parking ticket in my life and here I was stealing cash from a company.”

Crawford had started enjoying pokies together with her boss. She was lonely. Her kids had left home and her second marriage had ended traumatically. After a while she began going by herself.

“They gave me one thing to do and i didn’t have to return home to an empty house. It’s like a vegetative stage. You’re within the zone, they usually really are mind-numbing and enjoyable.”

Initially Crawford would chase her losses within the vain hope she may win massive and pay back the money she had stolen. But ultimately being in the zone grew to become much more fascinating than profitable.

Crawford was sentenced to 18 months at Tarrengower, a minimum-safety prison near Maldon. She says two-thirds of the 50 girls on the prison had also been gamblers.

Crawford had a fabulous counsellor in jail, who helped her understand her addiction and its roots in the trauma she had skilled throughout her life. She has now paid all the cash again.

“Prison saved my life because it stopped me and made me get the assistance that I wanted, but locking people away isn’t how we ought to be treating addiction.”

There are a number of signs that point out dangerous poker machine playing.

Some folks – like Crawford – repeatedly withdraw extra money and continue to gamble with the proceeds of large wins. Some get emotional and distressed, pouring with sweat, banging the machine and shouting.

“It’s not unknown for people to wet themselves because they don’t want to leave the machine,” Livingstone says.

“There are those that deal with the machine as if it’s an individual. I’ve seen folks hugging it and stroking it. Lots of people have erroneous beliefs about their capacity to influence the way in which their machine is operating.”

Bardsley calls it “magical thinking”: “I used to stand up, take the money out of the machine, turn around, put the cash back in once more and attempt to trick the machine that I was a brand new particular person. Particular type of silly.”

The Victorian authorities requires venues to enforce a accountable gambling code of conduct which says staff are anticipated to ask folks to take a break if they’re showing signs of gambling issues.

Did this ever happen?

“Never, by no means, by no means,” says Crawford.

No one ever intervened with Bardsley either. “How can you count on them to? They are hospitality employees. There are better issues we can do to guard people.”

A research of 11 pokies venues in Melbourne, published in Addiction Analysis & Concept in 2017, discovered venues usually failed to answer indicators of playing problems and instead encouraged continued playing in contradiction of their code of conduct.

“Self-regulation has been a dismal failure,” Livingstone says.

In 2015 the Victorian government introduced extra self-regulation: a voluntary pre-commitment scheme.

Known as YourPlay, it entails a card inserted into machines. It gives gamblers information on how much they are shedding and the way long they’ve been taking part in and invites them to set non-binding loss limits.

The take-up fee has been minuscule.

A 2019 evaluation found YourPlay cards have been utilized in sessions amounting to 0.01 per cent of gaming machine turnover in Victorian motels and clubs in 2017-18.

A Victorian authorities spokesperson stated all recommendations from the YourPlay analysis report back to strengthen the scheme have been accepted, and are both actively underway or delivered.

However Livingstone says the actual approach forward can be to turn YourPlay right into a common system that required everybody who wants to make use of pokies to register and set a restrict.

“That can be an enormous step forward.”

Victoria last 12 months introduced laws concentrating on Crown Casino’s 2628 poker machines, together with necessary pre-dedication swipe cards that can by the end of this year pressure gamblers on the on line casino to specify most losses earlier than they play.

But the crackdown on Crown, following the suggestions of the Finkelstein royal fee, does not have an effect on Victoria’s other 26,321 machines in pubs, clubs and RSL venues.

The Age sought remark from the Australian Lodges Association and Group Clubs Victoria. Final yr the AHA said it rejected any assertion that penalties imposed on Crown should even be imposed on venue-primarily based gaming operators.

“It ought to be recognised that venue-based mostly gaming operators have a strong file of accountable gambling [and] hurt prevention,” chief government officer Paddy O’Sullivan said at the time.

These included most bets of $5, no ATMs, no 24-hour trade, voluntary pre-dedication techniques for gamers, self-exclusion programs, winnings above $2000 to be paid by cheque and the accountable gambling code of conduct.

Within the lead-up to the Victorian election, Community Clubs Victoria was assured by the Victorian government there can be no upcoming coverage modifications that eat into gaming machine revenue, despite the reforms at Crown and in other states.

“It drives me loopy,” Bardsley says. “There are a whole lot of suicides due to gambling. Lots of destroyed lives.”

Given the shame involved, gambling addiction usually results in a profound despair. The first Victorian examine on gambling-associated suicides found there had been 128 between 2000 and 2012. State Coroner John Cain stated a more moderen study showed about 20 gambling-related suicides a 12 months in Victoria.

‘It wasn’t a really pretty place to be’: Pokies addict Ian attempted suicide 3 times.Credit score: Justin McManus

Ian nearly turned one of those statistics. In 2014 – after his third suicide try – he woke up and all he might consider was his household. “I decided that to salvage the relationships I had, I needed to cease gambling.”

At the time Ian, who asked that his surname not be used, had lost tens of hundreds of dollars to the pokies over 25 years.

“I suppose it’s the sounds, the music that’s played, the glad tunes that come up when you have a win,” Ian says of why he discovered pokies so addictive. “Even when the win isn’t a win, it’s actually a loss, you continue to get these joyous sounds.”

(This phenomenon, often known as losses disguised as wins, happens when players guess on a number of traces. If you happen to win on one line, the machine will flash lights and congratulatory messages, even though you have lost cash total.)

Ian was also lured to venues by free or subsidised food and drinks. “When you gamble most of your wage, the supply of a free meal or half-price meal may be very tempting.”

After his first try suicide try in 2010, Ian realised he was in bother. He was residing out of his automobile and spending hours at pokies venues. His relationships had damaged down and he was experiencing panic attacks and depression. “It wasn’t a really pretty place to be.”

Ian tried using a self-exclusion program launched in Victoria in 1997. Under this system gamblers can bar themselves from venues, with staff supposed to recollect them from images.

“The self-exclusion program that operates in the meanwhile doesn’t work,” Ian says. “I really went to a venue that I used to go to very frequently and I used to be tapped on the shoulder and provided a espresso.”

Ian supports a cashless card system. He believes that if gamblers ban themselves from venues it needs to be registered on this card so that self-exclusion actually works. And he would like to see daily loss limits.

“When I used to be gambling I could lose $400 within half an hour, simple. That’s very dangerous to somebody who’s chasing their losses.”

Eventually, in 2014, Ian broke up with poker machines. “It’s a bit unusual, but I actually looked at poker machines as a bad relationship that I’d given too many possibilities.”

He wrote a letter expressing his disgust at the way that they had handled him for so long and left it within the coin slot of a machine in Anglesea. “I decided that I was going to move on and search new relationships.”

These days Ian runs a help program for folks experiencing playing hurt at Banyule Group Health Service.

He tells them what has labored for him: automatic invoice funds, destroying his card – so if he wants cash he has to go to the bank – and filling the time he spent gambling with fishing, gardening and cycling. Recently Ian took up snorkelling, which took him into a state of circulate, but this time it wasn’t a dark one like the gambling zone. “I completely adore it. Once you might be floating within the water you’ve gotten absolutely no concept how long you are in there.”

Last week former Melbourne Excessive business supervisor Frances Walshe pleaded responsible to stealing greater than $430,000 from the school. Her second husband left her for one more lady and she discovered solace and a way of neighborhood by going to the native pokies venue.

Crawford watched the news item and thought about all of the issues that need to alter to stop another person ending up in prison.

Cashless gaming playing cards. Sluggish the spin fee down. Take away some addictive qualities of the machines. Introduce loss limits. Cut back opening hours. “There’s so many things they can do.”

Sometimes Crawford doesn’t feel optimistic. But then she reminds herself that she has seen change. Lots of the AFL clubs have bought their pokies venues. There was the Royal Fee into Crown. Media interest in the difficulty has grown, she says, which makes individuals more conscious. “I wasn’t filmed popping out of the County Court, it wasn’t an important subject back then.”

Bardsley now works for the Alliance for Playing Reform, mentoring individuals like herself. She hasn’t used the pokies for 15 years however her eyes still effectively up when she talks about it.

For years she blamed herself for being hooked. “And then I found out I wasn’t the problem, the machines had been the problem. And that i got so offended.”

Bardsley thinks cashless cards are an excellent concept. “Tasmania is doing it,” she says. “And I’m astounded that New South Wales is at least speaking about it as a result of I didn’t suppose that may occur.”

“If necessary pre-dedication was in place when I was playing, I wouldn’t be sitting right here talking to you,” she says. “I always had in my mind once i went in ‘I’m only going to stay X amount of time and I’m solely going to spend $50’. I by no means meant to lose thousands. I never meant to remain eight hours. I never meant to be there at three o’clock in the morning. I never meant to go residence and lie about it. And i hated myself.”

At 4.15am on Wednesday morning, Little Wonders by American singer Rob Thomas is blaring by the pokies room.

Our lives are made

In these small hours

These little wonders,

These twists and turns of fate

Time falls away,

However these small hours,

These small hours still remain

I order a caffe latte and the barista tells me coffees and mushy drinks are on the gaming room. “Would you want a snack? ” she asks, providing me a tray with packets of chips and biscuits and chocolates. I select a packet of scotch fingers and she urges me to take a mini chocolate bar too. “Keep you going,” she says kindly.

Behind me a machine booms “the Kraken awakes!”

“No one was ever having enjoyable when I was there at 3am,” Bardsley says. “The trade will inform you they’re open at those hours for the shift employees. However no one must be in a pokies room at 8am or 3am.”

In the second half of final 12 months pokie players at this hotel alone misplaced greater than $6.6 million.

At 5.07am on Wednesday morning, the girl in front of me continues to be enjoying Egyptian Jewels. She’s almost out of credit and the Cleopatras haven’t lined up. After i get up to depart, she slides one other $50 invoice into the slot.
