RUSSELL Crowe has fought virtual reality lions, and he has won. And now he has won again.
Crowe and his business partner, Peter Holmes a Court, wanted the 60 poker machines removed from the South Sydney league club in Redfern, Sydney.
Crowe and Holmes own a 75 per cent stake in the National Rugby League.
The machines rake in $1.7 million (£850,000)-a-year. Godo money for a club. But, then, what's money when you are rich movie star and your partner is a member of one of the wealthiest families in Australia?
Say Crowe and Homes a Court: "We are not moralising here, we just believe that low-income areas like Redfern need less poker machines rather than more.
"We believe a club can be successful if it caters for our members and the broad community; is a place where families can gather for conversation and good food; and the distracting din of pokies doesn't stop the conversation or drown out live music."
Conversation and good food at a sports ground... Live the dream, Russell. Live the dream...
You can live the dream here, without Russell Crowe spoiling your fun...
