Pokies reforms announced

Problem gamblers are being targeted in new reforms.

Sunraysia pokies users will need to carry ID under new gambling reforms.

Load limits will be capped at one-hundred dollars and spin speeds slowed, while pokies venues will also be shut for at least six-hours a day.

Almost three-point-two million dollars were poured into pokies across Mildura during May, while in Swan Hill punters lost just under nine-hundred thousand dollars.

Community Clubs Victoria says hyper-regulation could send more people to online gambling.

Gamble responsibly.
