$20 POKIE LIMIT SCRAPPED
When it comes to gambling, Elle has a knack of reducing complex arguments down to their simplest forms - D.
"I admit I like playing the pokies, however what disgraces me is that there is no choice between 2 cents a line, then 5 cents per line. i like playing 3 or 4 cents per line, on a 1 cent machine. I see so many people doing the 25 cents per line, which is $5 every press, and they go through hundreds and hundreds within half an hour.
Why not get rid of the 25 cents a line button and make the highest bet possible only 10 cents, which is often $2 a press instead of $5 a press???"
