Aussie Slots To Include "Pop-Up" Messages In Attempt To Combat Problem Gambling

ALL poker machines in New South Wales will soon display "pop-up" messages informing players how long they have been gambling according to an article published today on the news.com.au site. The machines will also have clocks displaying the current time.
