I used to enjoy playing fruit machines..£30 could last you hours but their was a point of no return & it was unlikely that you could recover that £30 loss..

In the last 6 years gambling stakes have increased & the skill level & entertainment value has decreased & its an alarming trend for the new generation.

Eg a £70 jackpot machine will average at least £4 to get a feature which can offer a minimum £1 win & just look at the popularity of those b3 machines ..

you can spin £10 every 4 seconds on some machines & as much as 100 per spin on the internet, ive also seen a deal or no deal game with a £1000 bet stake on sky vegas. My salary has not increased much in 6 years yet its common to witness people losing £100s per day with no chance of recovery.


Gambling is a form of entertainment but how did the researchers come up with these crazy betting stakes & succesfully minimize gamblers intelligence? when did the new generation have infinite funds?

what is skillful & entertaining about waiting for a random win on the majority of games being released?

Hi everyone
