EGM Update
A quick look at pokies data which has been reverting back to something more normal although Cairns SA4 was still 16.4% ($2.1 million in player losses) above September 2019.

The usual seasonal patterns are yet to return and the monthly volatility tends to hide the gap which has opened up again between Cairns and Townsville on a rolling annual basis.

Townsville previously closed the gap following the 2019 flood which also induced a surge to the pokies.
