Research into impacts on poker machine gambling 

Published on 01 February, 2007 

CQU researcher Dr Matthew Rockloff has been granted $148,829 to investigate the impact of an audience and venue-size on poker machine gambling.

PhotoID:3694 The grant from the Victorian Department of Justice will enable Dr Rockloff to research how groups of players influence individual gambling behaviour (the social facilitation effect).

Three studies are proposed to check a theory that larger crowds of fellow participants and bystanders will contribute to a greater intensity of play using electronic gaming machines.

This latest grant will build on previous gambling studies by Dr Rockloff that have attracted more than $500,000 in research funding to the University over the past 5 years.
