Ali Baba and the 40 Phoenixes (and why not indeed? ;) )

That's true. But I think they're more into other types of gambling.

It's not them anyway. And to save you the trouble of me giving you a QI style buzzer, it's not America either.

could it be us?

I say Japan, given that they still have proper arcades over there. Are you counting things like Pachinko?

It includes all gambling machines (e.g. s16, FOBT, bandits)...

It's not us, and it isn't Japan either.

Clue: 80% of the population of this country like a flutter...

this may be from the left field but i know that some of them are constructed (using cheap labour) in lithuania.

Well, we've had China and America, so if we're talking sheer numbers, let's try Russia!

Both wrong chaps.

And I never said it was a highly populated country, by the way. In fact, the country in question doesn't even appear in the top 50 most populated countries.

Australia?

It's not a trick question or anything.

This country just love their machines - (to me more precise, poker machines).

EDIT: Weyland gets it. Over there, they're called Pokies. Up here, they're called Puggies. So there you are. Over to you sir

Our posts must have dead-heated to the server.

Is Australia really that underpopulated? Wow. Mind you, it's mostly the edges that are populated IIRC, so I suppose so...

Anyway, I thought I'd asked this question, but a search proved I hadn't. So, who's real name until they ascended to the title we know them by today was Temüjin?

Complete guess- Dalai Lama?

My days of playing Civ IV tell me it's probably Genghis Khan
