Venue Curfews from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m.:<\/strong> In response to concerns over staggered opening hours, which may encourage continuous gambling, the government will impose a required shutdown period for all EGMs in venues between 4 a.m. and 10 a.m. This proposal will go into effect in mid-2024 and will not apply to casinos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Spin Speed Reduction:<\/strong> To slow down the fast speed of play, all new Electronic Gaming Machines will be required to spin for three seconds per game. This measure aims to promote more measured and responsible gaming.<\/p>\n<p>Premier Daniel Andrews emphasized that these reforms will set a new standard in Australia for gambling harm prevention and anti-money laundering efforts. The government\u2019s unrelenting commitment to protecting Victorians\u2019 well-being and providing assistance to individuals experiencing gambling-related harm is at the heart of these transformative initiatives.<\/p>\n<p>While the government is keen to execute the reforms, it understands the significance of consulting with the gaming industry and forming an implementation working group. The lessons learned from trials of comparable limitations in other jurisdictions, along with Crown Melbourne\u2019s experience, will determine the effective execution of these efforts, which will involve both mandatory pre-commitment and carded play by the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/victoria-releases-groundbreaking-gambling-reforms-to-tackle-electronic-gaming-machine-harms\/\">Victoria Releases Groundbreaking Gambling Reforms to Tackle Electronic Gaming Machine Harms<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/\">iGaming.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel Andrews, Premier of Victoria, and Melissa Horne, Minister for Casino, Gaming, and Liquor Regulation, have taken a significant move to address the dangers connected with electronic gaming machines, colloquially known as \u201cpokies.\u201d A comprehensive set of responsible gambling and anti-money laundering rules targeted at mitigating the detrimental effects of these machines in retail and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5257\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/casino-online-best.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
