...that they're called 'Lad' 'Brokes'. Top trolling. Couldn't be more up front about the certain consequences of gambling!
Seriously though, verminous industry.

They need to do far more than slash the maximum bet amount. They need a £50 per hour loss limit. Make everyone who uses them register for a card and impose a maximum loss. I'm sure many people who lose their month's pay are chasing that initial loss. With an hour to put a £50 loss into perspective they'd probably call themselves a tit and walk away. With no limits they can lose the rest of their pay within 5 minutes of that initial loss. We've all had the moment with the red mist where we've lost a load chasing losses. |  |

I have a few piers though. I diversified my portfolio into the leisure and tourism industry a few years back. | |

They would just go up the road to the next shop J2, these machines are killing the industry but they don't care as long as short term they keep the share holders happy. This whole industry is ready to blow up,anyone who has half a clue can't get a bet on for more then pennies. I hope the government do slash the limit right down to £2 as they will have to get back to proper bookmaking. |  |

Not if there was a universal card which all machines had to accept. Of course people could borrow a mate's card etc and could get round it but for a lot of impulse betting it would stop people losing fortunes. The bookies will obviously fight this to the death as their survival probably depends on it.
There's a story on BBC about Kyle Lafferty. He was addicted to gambling and most bookies were throwing free bets at him to keep him coming back. One unnamed bookie did see he had a problem and closed this account though which I found interesting. | |

The fantastic BBC drama "Broken" had a storyline where a woman committed suicide after racking up debts and stealing from her employer to feed the habit.
Her daughter took a sledgehammer to the machines.
When they replaced them, she did it again.
And then a third time.
Sadly, there haven't been any copycat crimes in real life. | | | |
