Synopsis
KA-CHING! chronicles the powerful lure of poker machines through the stories of gamblers, game designers and politicians. The story tells an early history of the poker machine development and how Australia has ended up as the world's pokie capital. We will see why they addict so easily, the personal and social toll that their spread into neighborhoods across Australia has brought, and the creative "genius" that goes into the making and marketing of them.
