Cure for Pokie Addiction

Heard about the latest treatment for compulsive pokie gambling? Patients are made to listen to pokie tunes and watch pokie video for days on end. Later, they are asked to sit in front of pokie machines without playing. Through sheer repetition, the patients get bored and they get over the urge to play whenever they catch sight of a poker machine.

Reminds me of the story about a father who cured his son of smoking by forcing him to smoke non-stop. I'm not even gonna mention Clockwork Orange because I'm not too sure if the "cure" worked or not.
