Key points
- —Review covers on-screen display of session information.
- —Consultation is open to suppliers and venue operators.
- —No changes have taken effect.
Scope of the review
The review examines whether current display arrangements give players a clear and continuous view of elapsed time and amounts staked within a session, and whether presentation should be standardised across machine types.
“Standardisation is easier to build for than a different rule in every state.”
