"A hour a day. This is the time that the Mayor of San Lazzaro di Savena (BO) allows her fellow citizens to legally enjoy playing slots. For the remaining 23 hours, legal devices must remain strictly turned off so as not to excessively encourage the use of legal gaming. You will undoubtedly have noticed that in these two - three lines, using adjectives and adverbs, we have declined the concept of legality several times. This serves to underline the unreasonableness of the reasoning that led the first citizen of this municipality in the province of Bologna to limit the time the slots are turned on from 11.30 to 12.30“. This is what he wrote in a note Union of sports receivers.
“The Mayor acts in total good faith for the most laudable of purposes: the protection of the player population from the risks inherent in playing the game. But he doesn't understand that such a drastic limitation not only misses the goal but actually nullifies it. It is needless to repeat that by limiting or even preventing, as in this case, the carrying out of the legal offer, the way is opened to the abusive market while at the same time destroying the economic initiative of the authorized parties. As our role requires us, we immediately started every useful initiative to modify this ordinance in the interest of our members and the players themselves", concludes STS.
