AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question and for what I hope will be an interest in providing extra funds to our community by way of gambling. I know the member wants advice and I am about to provide him with advice. However, when it comes to a particular area that the member should pursue, he must form his own view. I am pleased that he has not asked me to make a comment on a particular horse or greyhound that is running in a particular race on a particular day. That will be his next question! A number of questions have related to animals and I was hoping to follow that theme. Hon Simon O’Brien interjected. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: If the member can find anyone who would accept a bet of two bob, good luck to him. (1) It is Gaming Commission policy that, on average, the return to gaming machine players must be a minimum of 90 per cent. (2) 90 cents. (3) (a) 60 per cent. (b) The average totalisator return to punters is approximately 84 per cent. (c) Generally 60 per cent, but the return for some special promotion tickets is up to 75 per cent. (4) Yes. (5) Information about gaming machines is contained in a brochure which is titled “Know the deal - Video games”, which is available from Burswood Casino’s guest services. Information for weekend lotto is included in brochures that explain the game of lotto. Otherwise, information is available on request from the Lotteries Commission. No brochures explaining the totalisator have been produced, but information is available on request from the Department of Racing, Gaming and Liquor and the Totalisator Agency Board. No brochures about scratchies have been produced, but information is available on request from the Lotteries Commission. I encourage the honourable member to pursue each and every one of these avenues. I note his expertise in mathematics and look forward to a report in due course.
