Plans to allow Las Vegas-style casinos in every UK city could lead to a surge in problem gambling, a committee of MPs and Lords has Warned
The joint committee on the draft gambling bill said the government's plans should be toned down. In a 300 page report, it says large "resort" casinos should only be built in areas of high unemployment. There should be a strict limit on the number of big prize slot machines allowed on the casino floor.The report also recommends:
Banning smoking at gaming tables and fruit machines, partly to encourage gamblers to take a breakAllowing drinks to be served at tablesBanning advertising that can be seen by under-18s
