<br />
<br />
<strong>NSW</strong> has <strong>the</strong> second-highest total gambl<strong>in</strong>g expenditure per capita ($1,357), after<br />
<strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Territory ($2,197). 259<br />
<strong>NSW</strong> has <strong>the</strong> highest total gam<strong>in</strong>g expenditure per capita at $1,204, compared<br />
with an Australia-wide per capita level <strong>of</strong> $974. This is largely attributable to <strong>the</strong><br />
contribution <strong>of</strong> gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es operated <strong>in</strong> hotels and clubs (80 per cent <strong>of</strong><br />
gam<strong>in</strong>g expenditure per capita <strong>in</strong> <strong>NSW</strong> is on gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es).<br />
Expenditure on gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es makes <strong>the</strong> greatest contribution to total per<br />
capita gambl<strong>in</strong>g expenditure <strong>in</strong> all states except WA and NT. This may be<br />
because <strong>in</strong> WA, gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es are only operated with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> cas<strong>in</strong>o (see<br />
Table D.1), while <strong>in</strong> NT around 44 per cent <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> state’s gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es are<br />
operated with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> cas<strong>in</strong>o.<br />
Despite <strong>the</strong> strong contribution by gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es to gambl<strong>in</strong>g expenditure, a<br />
greater <strong>in</strong>cidence <strong>of</strong> gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> a state does not necessarily lead to a higher<br />
level <strong>of</strong> per capita gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>e expenditure. Figure D.1 shows <strong>the</strong> gam<strong>in</strong>g<br />
mach<strong>in</strong>e expenditure per capita by <strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> people per gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
While <strong>NSW</strong> leads <strong>the</strong> country <strong>in</strong> gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>e expenditure per capita, a higher<br />
<strong>in</strong>cidence <strong>of</strong> gam<strong>in</strong>g mach<strong>in</strong>es does not necessarily result <strong>in</strong> a significantly higher<br />
level <strong>of</strong> per capita expenditure. Queensland operates with around double <strong>the</strong><br />
259 Although it should be noted that a significant portion <strong>of</strong> NT’s expenditure can be attributed to people<br />
outside NT bett<strong>in</strong>g with bookmakers located with<strong>in</strong> NT.<br />
