Wellington City Council votes for sinking lid policy on pokie machines © RNZ/ Dan Cook
Wellington City Council has today voted for a sinking lid on pokie machines even though most councillors admit it is largely a symbolic gesture.
Many councils nationwide are calling on the government to give them the power to outlaw gaming machines in their regions.
The council s strategy and policy committee today voted eight to five in favour of the policy, the strongest action it can take under the current Gambling Act.
It means no new machines and if a venue closes down the pokies go with it.
