SOF Issue

Looks like that won't be an issue any more now that they are looking to raise the scratchcard age limit to 18. Interestingly though if you live in a sea side town there is nothing to stop you going in and blowing £30 of your pocket money on slot machines in there. Time to restrict those as well as they are merely inducing school children to gamble.

I am not anti gambling, I am anti-children gambling in any shape or manner.

It's meant to be 18 for slots in amusement arcades, isn't it?

I think it'd just be easier not to give people under 25 any money

Just category A and B are 18+ I believe (possibly C too)

It's only 18 plus for those slot machines which are considered adult as I understand it. Those with a lower jackpot are not restricted to over 18's - so you can get the youngsters off on their gambling careers at an early age. I liken this to me chatting up a 14 year old girl in the hopes that in 4 years time I can get a bit more out of her.

I thought that was what the lockdown was supposed to achieve?

From about age 11 onwards the best thing in my life was going into a seaside arcade for a couple of magical hours with my dad or grandad.. It literally was better than anything else in the world back then.

And it helped my because at 18 I started emptying the machines (legally lol) and it bought me my house at age 27.
