The UK Gambling Act Is Published Today

If parliament approves the gambling bill there will be casinos popping up regionally. The massice Vegas style casinos will allow gamblers to gamble for larger jackpots than available in arcade amusement centres. Obviously roulette and blackjack tables will be there, much like any Vegas casino.

The benefits are the Gambling Bill will seek to prohibit under 18's playing in the regional casinos. Arcade amusement centres located outside of big towns, near holiday resorts mainly, allow minors to enter and gamble and they do so with overrounds running at atleast 25%. Hopefully this will be stopped.

The Gaming Board for Great Britain is the place to keep an eye on for Internet Gambling Regulation

Of course, the anti gambling brigade will be on the march again. Ruination of the family, concerns over problem gambling, crime due to gambling, you know the drill.

Mike Dickin from talkSPORT radio calls the whole thing a charter for Yobbo's Grottos. The fact the gambling bill aims to tackle unregultaed gambling means nothing to the anti gambling brigade.

Can you say "Nanny" Mr Dicken? ~ Did'nt you know that We are a nation of gamblers already? ~ Well I guess you did Mr Dickin because you gamble on the horses every day sir.
