Gambling database (gaming machines)
The South Australian Centre for Economic Studies has developed a Gambling Database that provides regional level data on gaming machine activity in South Australian licensed venues (i.e. hotels and clubs but not the casino) in an easy to use format.
This information will be useful to researchers, local government, industry and the public in understanding the gambling environment in South Australia.
The database contains information on the number of machines and venues, net gambling revenue and taxation revenue for each region based on data provided by Consumer and Business Services (CBS). Relative estimates of these measures are also presented on a 'per adult' basis.
Regions are composed of individual and grouped Local Government Areas and are based on regional definitions used by CBS to publish its regional Gaming Machine Statistics.

Community impacts of electronic gaming machine gambling
Client: Victorian Gambling Research Panel
Areas of focus: Gambling
Overview: The Centre was commissioned to consider the community impact of EGM gambling by comparing the starkly different gambling environments that exist in Victoria and Western Australia. Relative differences in gambling expenditure, employment levels and problem gambling were analysed at the State level. Four matched regions in each State were also identified and compared for, inter alia, differences in community attitudes, participation in gaming, the change in local clubs, visits to local GPs, and use of ATMs in hotels and clubs. Regional level data was compiled from community surveys undertaken to assess attitudes and behaviours relevant to participating in gambling, supplemented by interviews with various stakeholders, the gambling industry, surveys of local GPs, financial counsellors and gambling counsellors.
