洛根市市长Jon Raven公开反对北昆州牛仔队在布里斯班南部Holmview郊区建设的联赛俱乐部项目，批评其为"老虎机赌场"[1]。该项目计划安装100台老虎机[1]，市长指控这将每年从洛根社区抽取超过1300万澳元，而牛仔队在第一年仅承诺返还10万澳元，四年后才承诺返还150万澳元[1]。
牛仔队首席执行官蒂姆·福莱特表示该项目仍处于早期阶段[1]。他称俱乐部相信有潜力创建一个不仅服务成员和支持者，还能促进当地就业、支持社区倡议的场所[1]。该项目拟包含400座餐厅、社区活动空间、咖啡馆、儿童游乐场和牛仔队商品店等设施[1]。
Logan City Mayor Jon Raven has criticized a proposed leagues club by the North Queensland Cowboys in the Holmview suburb south of Brisbane, condemning it as a "pokie palace" that would drain millions from the local community.[1] The NRL club's project is planned to include 100 poker machines, which the mayor argues would extract more than AUD 13 million annually from Logan residents' pockets, despite the club's commitment to return only AUD 100,000 in the first year.[1] According to the club's pledges, after four years it has committed to return AUD 1.5 million to the community.[1]
The facility is designed to offer more than gambling infrastructure, featuring a 400-seat restaurant, community event spaces, a café, children's play area, and a Cowboys merchandise store.[1] Cowboys Chief Executive Tim Follett stated that the project remains in its early stages and contended the venue would serve members and supporters while creating local employment opportunities and supporting community initiatives.[1]
