UK arcade B2 machines earning £32k per year

Nevada has similar issues with low end slots in gas stations and convenience stores. prey on impulse gambling and poor odds awareness

totaly 30k+/per year and they cant afford proper self exclusion system yeah right

Industry claim is staff training and database issues. Reality is enforcement costs money and reduces revenue so there's no incentive

 

[@ssiduous]

Article mentioned some staff even helped excluded person disable their bank gambling blocks. I mean actually assisted them losing more money
what a mad world we living

That anecdote if verified is criminal level negligence. Staff actively circumventing harm prevention measures shows fundamental failure of operator responsibility.

 

[slotking]

unfortunately not surprising staff incentivized to keep machines active not protect players. system corrupted at every level
