Where were you in Australia? And what sort of gambling machines are we talking about?
> The laws regulating the use of gaming machines in Australia are a matter for state governments, and as such they vary between states. Gaming machines are found in casinos (approximately one in each major city) as well as pubs and clubs in some states (usually sports, social, or RSL clubs).

- gottorf 2y agoI was in Sydney. I may be misremembering the exact kind of establishments I found them in -- this was quite a few years ago.
