Integration with NSW's poker machine central monitoring system should be considered if the ACT government chooses to link up poker machines in the territory, a parliamentary inquiry has found.
Labor and the Greens remain split on the adoption of a central monitoring system, which Gaming Minister and Greens leader Shane Rattenbury has argued is needed to roll out further harm minimisation measures.
Labor wants to introduce harm minimisation measures - including bet limits and cashless gaming - sooner without the expensive monitoring system, which the party believes would lock a higher number of poker machines in for longer and do little to stop gamblers going over the border into NSW to keep playing.
