Pokie operators attempt to resist new problem gambling regulations in order to prevent addicts.

The leaders of slot machines have taken action to obstruct fresh regulations concerning the issue of gambling addiction, which were implemented as a response to the heartbreaking story of Morgan Barrett.
Barrett, an addicted slot machine player, tragically passed away from a heart attack after squandering $500,000 over a span of three years. Enhanced guidelines aimed at identifying problem gamblers are scheduled to come into effect on December 1.
However, the Gaming Machine Association and three organizations that oversee slot machines are pursuing a legal examination in the High Court on November 20. During the review, they will present their argument that the newly imposed rules are impractical.
