NSWâs largest RSL and leagues clubs will fast-track trials of digital wallets for poker machines in a move designed to appease the state government as it pushes ahead with controversial gaming reforms.
The wallets will be introduced in several large leagues clubs within months as an alternative to a gaming card proposed by Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello.
The technology could then be rolled out more widely but would not be made compulsory.

Mr Dominelloâs proposed card was widely opposed by clubs and pubs as well as some of his cabinet colleagues, including Deputy Premier John Barilaro, who vowed to never support a gambling card.
