Abstract

Since the rapid proliferation of electronic gaming machines in Australia during the 1990s, it has been recognised that regions of lower socio‐economic status have experienced the greatest allocations of these machines. It has generally been argued that market forces are the main reason for this. This paper, addressing the case study of Melbourne, suggests that legislative, historical and cultural factors, among others, might also underpin and re‐enforce the emergent spatial inequities.
