The Cashless Debit Card, which prevents welfare being used for gambling, was introduced a year ago but Dr Russell said pokie spendings would constantly fluctuate. The new cashless gaming machines may be supported by local operators. However, in a previous push, the plan received strong opposition from the public, as well as anti-gaming crusaders. These cashless pokies would no longer require players to insert actual cash notes into the machines to play. Instead, they would be able purchase pre-paid tickets.

ASX-listed Aristocrat Gaming has rolled out its Aristocrat Future Leaders program.
Casino Beats reports the program is a comprehensive educational track that creates an opportunity for recent graduate students in the United States to learn the land-based gaming industry from the pokies manufacturer.
The Aristocrat Future Leaders rotational program offers full-time job opportunities for recent college graduates.
In this role, participants will rotate through a variety of major commercial departments including finance, operations, marketing and others.
Each graduate will spend approximately eight months in each department, with an “immersive educational experience” promised.
The rotational program is also said to offer competitive benefits and compensation to attract nationwide applicants.
“We’re excited to invest in the future of gaming with the introduction of Aristocrat Future Leaders,” president of Aristocrat Gaming Hector Fernandez said.

“By prioritising education and placing the gaming supplier industry at the forefront of career opportunities, we look forward to welcoming top talent that will grow their career with Aristocrat for the long term.”
Last year, Aristocrat became an official partner of the Las Vegas Raiders and linked up with US casino operator Boyd Gaming to debut its cashless wagering digital wallet technology at the firm’s Blue Chip Casino Resort Spa in Michigan City, Indiana.
The feature sees patrons place cash on account at the cashier cage then use their player loyalty card to instantly access those funds on the casino floor.
The digital wallet eliminates the need to handle cash at pokies machines or redeem tickets, creating a frictionless experience for the customer.

A Californian gaming destination has launched a cashless wagering program, calling the move historic.
Casino Beats reported in December that Morongo Casino Resort and Spa has partnered with Marker Trax, which will run through the Konami Gaming’s Synkros casino management system, for a debut that Morongo says will make it the nation’s first tribal casino to offer cashless casino poker machines.
The aim is to allow guests to conveniently and securely apply, get approved and begin using their digital market, all in under five minutes, and electronically, rather than retrieving cash.
Those enrolled in a PIN-protected Synkros cashless wagering account can use their Marker Trax credit line to play electronically on any machine in the casino.
“We’re excited to be working with Marker Trax to introduce cashless wagering markers to our guests,” chief operating officer of Morongo Casino Richard St-Jean said.
“The convenience and ease of Marker Trax will be a huge bonus for our players and underscores Morongo’s history of embracing state-of-the-art technology to enhance our gaming experience.
With Marker Trax, our guests can be approved for a gaming line and at the machine in minutes.”
Marker Trax will offer Morongo access to its players’ data analytics and marker tracking, with the information able to be accessed from any machine on the property.
When players wish to withdraw from their cashless wagering accounts, the system, along with Synkros, settles any outstanding balance prior to payout.
“Morongo guests will be the first outside Nevada to enjoy Marker Trax cashless slot markers, thanks to the leadership of Richard St Jean and his team, Marker Trax’s strong launch success, and Synkros’ robust core environment,” executive vice president and chief operating officer at Konami Gaming Tom Jingoli said.
“Konami’s Synkros casino management system is designed with the agility, data architecture and integration capabilities to help deliver these types of collaborative tech opportunities to players and properties.”
