It is hard to see how the slot machine in LBALL can be gambling when you are guaranteed to profit on every spin (unless you've intentionally designed a machine where you can win nothing, but that seems like your fault). Gambling involves risking a stake, but in almost every configuration of the machine that you'll encounter during normal play there is no risk, you are guaranteed to make more than it costs to spin. The challenge is to make enough to stay ahead of the landlord.

As far as Australia is concerned the mere appearance of a slot machine is enough, it doesn't need to function like one.
The more I hear about regulations in Australia, the more certain I am that their leaders lack the ability to distinguish nuance in any capacity.
Otoh, maybe it's the rest of us who are out of touch and need to do more to protect the children.
We are talking about the country who's leaders tried to ban flat chested women from porn because they "look too much like children".
