Offer ends 31 October, 2023 “We’ve made a point for the last two months that we would have a comprehensive plan to take to the next election, for voters to make a decision about who has the best plan for problem gaming, as well as illicit behaviour in the gaming institutions across New South Wales," Mr Minns said.
The trial will be overseen by an independent body made up of representatives from law enforcement as well as gambling and health experts, and be partly funded by the $100 million fine issued to Star Casino. “I don’t expect either side of this debate to be thrilled with Labor’s plan but we think it’s fair, we think it’s tough, we think that in addition to the trial the immediate measures that we will take will make a big difference to problem gaming in NSW."
