+
+ Gaming tables took $1.5 billion (up 2 per cent), followed by poker and gaming machines at $1 billion (up 9 per cent), and Keno, at $19 million (down 11 per cent).
+

+ "When visitors want to come to Sydney and they want a bit of night life, we're probably running the best shows at the moment, and while they're here they can have a meal and ... go on the tables or machines as well. So, really, we've got a variety of entertainment in the one venue."

+ The spokesman for the Inter-Church Gambling Taskforce, the Rev Tim Costello, said gaming machines provided people with an escape from their problems in "an increasingly worrying world", and this accounted for their increased popularity.
+
+ "It's the sbobet Indonesia of our prophecy when Crown [Casino in Melbourne] was built ... targeting overseas people, and we said it will end up simply devouring local people ... and their savings, marriages [and] hopes, and that's exactly what's happening," he said.
+
+ Mr Costello wants the Government to stop casinos using gaming machines that take banknotes, to pay winnings above $200 by cheque, to remove ATMs from casinos, and to prevent the Crown Casino from allowing players to draw on credit.
+
+ The annual casino industry survey, released on Monday by economic consultants ACIL, found the industry paid $496.5 million in gaming taxes and contributed $2.15 billion to the economy, including wages and taxes. This was the largest contribution on record.

+
+ Overseas players accounted for only 18 per cent of total gaming revenue this year, down from 35 per cent when the survey series began eight years ago.
