The Gambling industry in Australia is huge. Massive even. Walk into almost any Pub, Bowling club or Rsl in any town almost anywhere and there is numerous ways to loose your money through gambling. Some of the more popular known methods are Tab-Horses/Greyhounds, Keno-Numbers game, and the Pokies. Although Pokies or Poker machines are not the original game as where you actually play poker, they are now just slot machines. Like the one armed bandit, with buttons.

The thought of losing regularly is even warned by the managers of these places in writing. Up on the wall there are actual odds of winnings printed in clear sight. One million to one chance to get the top prize on a slot machine? Who cares, shove another fifty in the machine there. In Queensland, most machines only exept twentys. Which make sense, because people there gamble more than any other state.Thats why they call it Brisvegas. Yes, we love our Gaming. Now theres a new way to spend while drunk.

Called the Scheem44. Its five times as addictive as instant scratchies, and each game only lasts three seconds. With an even larger unsuccess rate than pokies, the idea of the game is to throw money into a odd shaped bowl filled with water. The user then presses a brightly flashing button mounted above the unit. Water fills the bowl rapidly. If the money sinks to the bottom, its taken away and you lose. If the money stays afloat for a set period of time, winnings are paid. There is now a home version being sold in some shops. Costing around two hundred dollars it can also be use as a toilet.
