ACT Labor has promised to slash the number of poker machines in Canberra by nearly 2800 over the next two decades, and fast-track the introduction of cashless gaming in the city's clubs in a bid to reduce gambling harm.
A re-elected Labor government would cut the number of poker machine licences from 3790 to 1000 by 2045, vowing to cut the number of machines by 500 every four years under a compulsory surrender scheme.
