(Jamma) Through a statement by their president, conveyed to the major national newspapers, the British producers have made it known that they are ready to support a reduction in the maximum limits on bets allowed at Fobt's, the gaming terminals connected online and installed in betting rooms, against which public opinion has been unleashed in recent weeks. "The industry of entertainment supports social responsibility,” he said Leslie MacLeod Miller , president of Bacta, motivating the choice to share the proposal to reduce the maximum amount of bets at betting terminals from the current 100 pounds to 2 pounds, or the maximum bet allowed on slots. The campaign against online gaming terminals, through which it is also possible to play roulette, has recently reached its highest level. The newspapers give space to real petitions and more and more deputies are determined to bring the protest to Parliament. In Great Britain, 33.000 Fobt's are authorised. According to the Gambling Commission these machines guarantee bookmakers profits of around 1,5 billion pounds a year. An estimated 588.000 minors were barred from entering a betting parlor and an estimated 27.000 were caught betting. Networked gaming terminals, completely different from AWP gaming machines (more similar to slots), guarantee 51% of the profits of English betting shops and 61% of the profits of all betting terminals. Slot producers (over 230.000 nationwide) are asking for the gaming parameters of these terminals to be aligned with those of limited-win slots.
