Hi Silhouette
I am sorry to be a damp squib but your girlfriend is not winning, she is losing because she is being kept in her cycle of addiction by what she terms a win.
I am not sure what you call a ‘big win’ but fortunes are won and lost in the twinkling of an eye. and it doesn’t matter if it is one A$ or a million that is gambled it is the ‘gamble’ itself that is damaging your girlfriend.
Poker machine are all over the world and I can’t see an end to their spread, all that can be done I believe, is that people are better educated about the dangers of gambling. Most people can gamble responsibly but you girlfriend cannot.
As expressed in every reply to you, the best thing you can do for yourself and your girlfriend is to look after yourself first, keep up with your friends, hobbies and interests and protect your finances.
