Last Bets is a personal and analytical exploration of gambling in Australia: the past and present of gambling in all its major forms and explore the impact of gambling on Australian society. From racetracks and the Tote, to lotteries, gaming machines, football clubs and casinos, gambling is one of the most distinctive aspects of Australian life. It is woven into the social fabric of our country, and has developed an insidious symbiosis with both the cultural and financial well-being of the nation.
