THE amount of cash pumped through Victoria's poker machines has plunged as a result of the latest move to crack down on problem gambling.
Since ATMs were banned in Victoria's 511 pokies venues on July 1, the amount spent on the machines has dropped 6.7 per cent, saving gamblers more than $62 million.
During September and October, Victoria's pokies spend was more than 8 per cent lower than at the same stage last year.
