Cashless Gaming heads to Australia
Sydney’s largest casino has supported the Premier’s efforts to change the 95,000 poker machines that belong to the state. Dominic Perrottet’s efforts will lead to the chance for cashless technology. It also leads to an urge for the NSW pubs and clubs to accept the change.
The debate that changes gambling world:
The debate over the reform was pretty interesting: the Star Entertainment Group told the Herald that the company has been spending a huge amount of money, even millions of dollars, to develop and implement different cashless technologies – but the results won’t be visible until the casinos and pubs accept the changes.
Pyrmont, one of the leading gambling authorities, has exclusivity regarding poker machines in NSW. However, these machines are making only 2 percent of all machines across the states if we take the pubs and clubs into …

Xbox Just Set A New Record, But It Wasn't All Good News
Microsoft has released its latest earnings report, and it showed a mixed bag of results for the Xbox division. Total gaming revenue fell–including a big 30% drop for hardware specifically–but monthly active users for Xbox reached a new third-quarter record.
Gaming revenue across the board at Xbox dropped by 4%, Microsoft said, while hardware sales slipped 30%. Microsoft said the downturn in hardware sales was attributed in part to a tough comparison to Q3 2022, which Microsoft said benefitted from “increased console supply.” Now that Xbox consoles are back in stock everywhere, it seems sales are slowing.
Xbox content and services revenue jumped by 3% during the quarter thanks to Xbox Game Pass subscriptions continuing to grow. However, Microsoft did not share a new subscriber number. In fact, it’s been more than a year since Microsoft announced 25 million members in January 2022.
In another positive development for Xbox, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said Microsoft…
