Pokies as Hypnotic Devices

For pokies problem gamblers, the machines are powerful hypnotic devices. The machines put problem gamblers in a hypnotic trance
known as "the zone". The hypnotized players become "pokies
zombies" and the machines plant suggestions direct into the
subconscious bypassing the conscious mind.

The Look Away program

Educates how the machines put problem gamblers in a trance and program their subconscious mind (even understanding this - just reading this post - may be enough to stop the trance and end the problem gambling)

Enables problem gamblers to speak to and heal the subconscous mind using a combination of Jungian psychology, transpersonal psychology and hypnotherapy (most therapies involve "shouting" at the conscious mind - LookAway speaks directly to the subconscious - acknowledging it and gently reasoning with it - in its own part of the mind and in its own language)
