I read this article, and from this you could generalise and assume that the state government gets a lot of it's revenue from yuppies in beamers/porches/etc who don't care (their lawyers will get them off with fines only...) and migrants/uneducated rice boys with limited english reading/writing skills (can't read WARNING, LOSS OF LICENSE, etc), the latter being those who seem to be the ones most fleeced by poker machines.
