Are the pokie reliant teams like Carlton and Hawks going to close their venues due to the Coronavirus?

[ChappyUK]

Seeing as you are more likely to catch the virus at a pokie venue or pub than at a game, are teams that need the pokies to survive going to close their doors until the virus is contained?

They'd have to the shut the clubs down too though, it's a real dilemma. These clubs have already openly admitted they wouldn't survive without pokie revenue, so it's a disastrous situation they've found themselves in.

Your first premise is wrong. You aren’t right next to a person for 2 hours in a pub or pokies.

its sad for the rest of you, but Carlton and hawthorn are more likely to survive through being diversified into pokies. That’s the point. And there was no backlash because nrl clubs have done it for many decades longer

It's about the risk of spreading the virus, not just catching it.

Setting your moral compass to NRL clubs. It's no wonder the Family Club is no longer.

It's very satisfying to see the pokies money slowly makes its way out of the game and be replaced with extra gambling ads.

What's the TP situation like in London these days?

What about ATMs and ca$h money in general? Two of the dirtiest disease transferring platforms known to man.

Thank * we do not need to use public telephones anymore.

Geelong is probably the safest place on earth, even the Coronavirus doesn't want to travel there.

Bro it probably ******* came from there.

Such a shame to see clubs reliant on destroying families thru gambling coming undone.

Carlton have already started an exit strategy program to leave the toxic Pokies and their revenue.

Also Geelong only got rid of them last year, so you are in No position to judge.

Only Norf fans can rightfully claim 'the moral police' bragging rights of being Pokie Free from all Vic clubs.

Since Crown had to shut half theirs down Carlton could probably pick up a heap more at a bargain price

Only because in a true lolnorf manner they couldn't make any money from them so had to get rid of them

 

[Dinsdale]

We'll just turn off every other pokie so theres 1.5m between losers I mean players, and the ones we leave on we'll reduce the payouts so that we are still raking it in.

Pokies are an essential service according to the State Government, and will remain open.
