The Premier later clarified at a press conference that the government was still considering the judgment but fully expected that it would appeal the decision. Tabcorp, which made a similar bid for compensation for loss of its poker machine entitlements but lost, is still considering its options, including an appeal. The two gaming companies launched legal action in 2012 seeking compensation from the government after being stripped of their licences to operate poker machines by the Brumby Labor government in 2008. Tatts Group had sought more than $490 million in compensation. Tabcorp sought $686 million.
