An 83 year old nanna that is 5 hours deep into a pokie bender is so totally unaware that an all out brawl is taking place around her.

Glenda Notley was seen repeatedly feeding 50s into her favourite pokie machine, all while a stand off between two different groups of tradies was unfolding.

Witnesses say the incident began shortly after 8:30pm when a disagreement over a tipped schooner escalated into a full blown melee near the TAB section of the pub.

Security footage reportedly shows chairs being thrown, pool cues snapped in half and at least one man being knocked out unconscious. 

Meanwhile Glenda remained completely locked in.

"She didn't even blink," explained bartender Corey Willis (27).

"There were blokes screaming, glass smashing, one guy got dragged across the carpet by his ankles and she just kept tapping the spin button like nothing was happening."

Patrons say the only moment Glenda briefly acknowledged the chaos was when somebody bumped her chair during a particularly heated exchange.

By the time police arrived, Glenda had reportedly burned through $1,700 with no intention of stopping any time soon.

Experts say the pokie machine has a uniquely hypnotizing effect on the elderly, similar to what an iPad does to a toddler.

Staff later confirmed Glenda only realised a fight had occurred after noticing blood on the carpet while cashing out her ticket near midnight.
