Almost two thirds of a billion pounds is staked each year across - TopicsExpress



          

Almost two thirds of a billion pounds is staked each year across the 401 machines in and around Bristol alone and it will come as no surprise that the majority of these bookies are in areas of higher deprivation. No other developed country allows £100 a spin machines every 20 seconds on the high street and the Government has so far refused Labours moves to give local communities the powers to ban them or lower maximum spins. Enough people have already lost homes, jobs and relationships as a result of this destructive habit and every week that the Government fails to act, problem gamblers in the Bristol area lose close to £100,000. bristolpost.co.uk/BRISTOL-S-BIG-GAMBLE/story-20456245-detail/story.html
