Other things impact on that too – if the market really tanks we’d have to slow down the masterplan.” One issue to be resolved is slot machine supply. With around 6,000 machines currently in the market, the Gold Coast already has the highest number of machines per capita in Queensland and generates the highest revenue per capita in the country, so the addition of new entitlements seems an unlikely fix. According to recent reports, the government has already begun talking to local pubs and clubs about selling up to 1,600 entitlements – roughly the same number held by The Star Gold Coast – for its Global Tourism Hub. Gandler and Li doubt that many would be needed, and at a cost of AU$100,000 per entitlement or AU$160million fully realized they represent a potentially burdensome operator expense.
