A lot of gambling rules have altered in recent times (or started to be used) resulting in changes to a lot of promotions.
We had to stop the jackpot for our punters club and the pub I drink at had multiple changes including getting rid of Jag the Joker.
I'm actually suprised how well the front bar is looked after at the pub I work at especially with things like $4 pints 3pm to 8pm Friday, $5 pints 3pm to 5pm every other day, free raffles Thursday and Friday, $12 pint and parmi lunches, putting in extra money to the punters club, amazing value with the footy tipping (you're in front after a month just on free drinks alone), etc, free munchies, etc.
The pub I drink has toss the boss Tuesday nights where you get free drinks if you call the toss and free raffles Thurs to Sat where I won 10 free pints two Saturdays ago.
The only thing the pokies customers get are the occassional snack and complimentary coffee or soft drinks, if we mispour a drink we can't even give it to someone in the pokies room due to strict laws.
Our diners do get it good with 2 for 1 lunches everyday and different dining specials every night, but they don't get the drink specials the front bar get. Our front bar is packed Thursday and Friday nights and close to it Saturday arvos, I look after our front bar regulars very well.
