Documentary New Zealand It's Not a Game
A documentary about the toll that poker machines - a billion-dollar industry - take on ordinary folk. The bright lights and the happy music of pokie machines do not drown out the human harm these machines have caused hundreds of thousands of people around the world. In little pubs and clubs throughout New Zealand pokie machines are happily taking money from thousands of New Zealanders – over 2 billion dollars in 2004 from a population of only 4 million people. http://www.topshelfproductions.co.nz/Shows/its-not-a-game/
