Brimbank has the unenviable record of attracting the highest losses on Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs) of any local government area in Victoria for over a decade.
From July 2015 to July 2025, over $1.4 billion has been lost on EGMs in Brimbank.
In 2024-2025, a total of $175.9 million was lost to EGMs in Brimbank. On average, each adult in Brimbank lost $1,129 on EGMs.
That was almost double the average across Victoria, which was $581 per adult. We have prepared a map showing the location of the 15 gaming venues in Brimbank, as well as a breakdown of losses for each venue during the 2024-2025 financial year.

Gambling harm mural
We are actively working with our community and partners to change the Brimbank story to prevent and reduce gambling harm.
We’re proud to share this mural which aims to build understanding and awareness of the impacts of gambling and gambling harm in the community and to promote services and local support for those who need it. The artist, Sebastian Fransz consulted with local community and worked in partnership with the Young Leaders of the West program to create a design that relates to the theme - What's the harm in gambling?
The mural is located on the corner of Ford Avenue and Furlong Road, Sunshine North and created in partnership with IPC Health’s Young Leaders of the West local mural painter Sebastian Franz and the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation.
