A 60-year-old Australian woman lost $1M to poker machines over 30 years, blaming their addictive design and weak government action.
Robyn Lewis, a 60-year-old from East Maitland, Australia, revealed she lost at least $1 million over 30 years to poker machine addiction, spending up to $300 daily and describing the machines as more addictive than alcohol or drugs.
She criticized their design, which uses lights and sounds to exploit vulnerable individuals, and questioned government efforts to curb gambling, citing reliance on industry revenue and weak past reforms.
Though a proposed statewide exclusion register using facial recognition offers hope, she remains skeptical of real change.
