Report: Fruit Machines should be banned from unlicensed premises.

I am of the opinion children should not be allowed in arcades by the seaside to play the crazy cranes and the kiddies rides because of the lure of the fruit machines and penny pusher flippers.

The powers that be are slowly getting there but have fallen short of Banning Fruit Machines.

Quote: We are concerned about the difficulties in ensuring that illegal machines are not sited in premises like cafes and taxicab offices and that children are adequately supervised when using machines in these premises.

Although Quote: The committee did state that the prohibition should not extend to motorway service stations, pubs or bowling alleys.

Sometimes these scrutiny committee people just go round and round in circles but things are slowly moving forward on this one. Many children play fruit machines in kebab shops and the like so it's important unlicenced venues are curbed, even though the seaside amusement arcades can carry on as usual.
