Whilst Australia has 8 differing gaming jurisdictions, New South Wales is arguably the most significant in terms of revenue and gaming machine numbers.  Indeed in terms of machine numbers it is the most significant in the asia/pacific if one excludes the pachinko industry in Japan.  It is a well developed and highly regulated jurisdiction, yet it is constantly changing amidst a political environment where a state government is seeking to protect and increase its revenues whilst at the same time attempting to satisfy the demands of the industry and player protection lobby.

This report gives a detailed account of the various sectors which make up the gaming industry in New South Wales as well as analysis of the laws which the industry is governed by.
