The indefatigable Barbara Doran [1] has produced what looks to be another gem, turning her attuned and critical eye to the subject of video gambling. Narrated by Gordon Pinsent [2] and featuring John Dunsworth [3] (Trailer Park Boys), Playing The Machines examines the astonishing business of video lottery terminals and their effect on our society.
