House Edge Lab: Who’s Playing Who?

Take part in an interactive game that reveals how gambling products use psychology, promotions and design to influence decisions. Using play money and fictional characters, participants will make choices, uncover hidden influences, and explore the impact of gambling on finances and wellbeing. 

This interactive event explores how gambling products use psychology, marketing and design features to influence decisions. Through a hands-on game, participants will discover the hidden factors that encourage continued play and consider the impacts of gambling on finances, wellbeing and everyday life.
