I'm delighted about the chance of this even happening. I'm under no illusions, however after the abortive duopoly review of our supermarkets. But this isn't comcom and had a clearer harm to the community, so maybe it'll happen?

God, I'd love to see it revoked entirely, but maybe there'll be some clearer oversight...

The company said it had invested significantly in systems to maintain the highest standards of host responsibility best practice, and prioritised minimising the impacts associated with problem gambling.

Fleecing rich foreigners.

I doubt many tourists go there, surely there's more to do?

Initially I was just thinking about Auckland, but there's others in Queenstown, etc, isn't there? (Tron? I don't like the old joke, but maybe that one's more popular?)

As much as I agree with fleecing rich foreigners (and happily partake in the reverse when in south east Asia), I suspect the bulk of their turnover is from regulars
