The Independent Panel for Gaming Reform has published its Roadmap for Gaming Reform report.
The independent panel say they brought together, for the first time, a mix of industry representatives, harm minimisation experts, police, experts in cybersecurity and privacy, academics, community organisations and a person with lived experience of gambling harm.
In a statement they say, ‘specifically, the independent panel examined the feasibility and acceptance of implementing cashless gaming technologies in clubs and hotels in NSW to gain insights from the technology to inform the roadmap report’.
Independent Panel for Gaming Reform Chairperson Michael Foggo said, ‘the roadmap also includes recommendations to progress the government’s commitment to reduce the overall number of gaming machine entitlements in NSW, as well as removing unnecessary complexity and further streamlining existing gaming regulatory regimes.’
The panel’s report is available at www.liquorandgaming.nsw.gov.au/community-and-stakeholders/independent-panel-on-gaming-reform.
