To be fair, a reduction in the economics of pokies will impact sales price and volume.
Cashless gaming will make it more difficult for players to be implusive and will restrict somewhat cash available to those with problems, which unfortunately is a big driver of profits for clubs.
I'm not sure what offsets clubs have other than to cut costs in other areas like reducing service levels and cutting promotion spend. Possibly forcing up denonminations and min bets on the machines would also help.
