More than $21 million spent on pokies in Rotorua in 2016
Hi neighbours,
Rotorua's addiction to pokies is as bad as it's ever been with more then $21 million being pumped into machines last year.
We continued to rank third in New Zealand for the amount spent on pokies per person.
So what needs to be done to help reduce the harm being caused by pokies in our community?
