firstly why the government didnt make the jackpot £100 (£1 stake) £50 (50p) £25 (25p). perfectly logical except for this government.their concerns for problem gamblers is totally fake-the government exists for fleecing as much from the population as they can get away with and giving as little in return.
secondly you have got to be a monkey(unless you are one of the .001% who are a pro) to play the fruities, where the excitement in tapping a button comes from beats me.It shouldnt be from lady luck.The thrill comes from the work youve put in and reaping the rewards.The random jackpot machine of the casinos is the ultimate no-brainer where the only skill is finding the coin-slot.
the new legislation will I predict result in an increase in pub revenue but the jackpot level is not enough.If more people become addicted(as long as they are not friends of mine)will at least keep the pubs open,however these people will play whatever.The effect on swp's will be minimal-although even a small downturn in swp revenue may result in them leaving the pubs.However,the question is what does the pub replace them with when nobody is coming through the doors-topless darts?Interesting point raised by the Times yesterday over the vastly reduced numbers of fruit machines made in the last two/three years,I naively thought they were recession proof but again I suppose its numbers coming through the doors.
