Description Ruby, a former Tivoli chorus girl is addicted to the one-armed bandits. Her pokie machine is her friend, her confidante and her confessor. Her life swirls around her in a cavalcade of memories. This is the story of a survivor, a woman who would risk everything to ensure a better life for her grand-daughter but with only one thing left to gamble:her precious, lucky coin.
Hilarious and heartbreaking - a tale as brash, crass and witty as Sydney
