This week marks 30 years since Victoria introduced the first pokie machines at a pub in Melbourne's eastern outskirts, which then premier Joan Kirner described would result in 'better social, recreational facilities and a better night out.'

Foot traffic in June climbed 8% from a month earlier and was around 74% of its pre-pandemic level, it said in a statement, also saying that the casino planned to open more shops and add entertainment attractions.

Isaac plays Steven Grant, a meek museum employee who discovers that sometimes he can be a whole other person. By night, he turns into a badass international mercenary -- and if that wasn't enough, this split personality appears to take orders from an ancient Egyptian god of the moon.

The two aspects of this oddball hero interact with each other on screen in various ways, which means Isaac plays two very different characters who talk to each other in mirrors and other reflections.
