Melbourne's board allocated $4 million for 92 machines at the Mathieson-owned Leighoak club, but ended up paying just $370,000.
With the sale of machines to end the Tattersalls-Tabcorp duopoly by 2012, the new 50-50 split between the licence-holders and the government operators is estimated to see machines in Victoria profit to the tune of $470,500 each over the 10-year agreement.
