UK House of Commons Warns About Slot Machines and Online Gambling

The UK Gambling Act is enforcing slot machine and gambling regulations, and the US is imposing prohibition on online slot machines and gambling – thus forcing the UK House of Commons to discuss their place in the gambling industry. Many think that they are gearing up for an all out war against the slot machine and gambling industry, just because of the amount of time they spent on their arguments regarding the topic.

MP for Wirral South, Benjamin Chapman, said that the 1968 Gambling Act was outdated and ignored, and felt that something had to be done about it. He said that with slot machine and gambling growing the way it has – online and in actual casinos – they could be slated for trouble headed their way. He also pointed out that with the US banning online slot machines and gambling, all that was left was for those gambling businesses to now train their sights on the UK.

He said that the UK needed to take steps to avoid slot machine and gambling establishments from heading here en masse. He said that although he did not agree with the US decision for an all out ban of online slot machines and gambling, he did think that restrictions needed to be put into place. Chapman sees the passage of the UK Gambling Act the tip of the iceberg.
