(Jamma) Less vending machines, less income and less protests. "We authorize the gaming stations and agree to carry out an investment of 1 billion and 300 million euros over the next four years in favor of the entire community", so he explains in an interview with the newspaper The messenger the strategy of the next venture game Massimo Passamonti president of Confindustria Sistema gioco Italia.
This project you have with Monopoly looks like a run to tidy up after an unexpected proliferation of rooms, right? asks the journalist Carla Massi
«Our interest is certainly to build a solid plan for the reorganization of the game. Also because we are talking about a sector that involves 6.600 companies and an employment pool of over 100 employees. Over 20 operators employed in the sector and 80 in the stores».
I was also referring to the tidying up to ensure maximum protection for minors, will a card arrive to prevent them from playing?
«We are developing the identification system in accordance with the privacy law that prevents minors from playing. We are talking about an identification card that will prevent the use of the car. But already today the exhibitors risk closure if they let a boy under 18 play ».
How will these new machines hitting theaters be immune from tampering and scams?
«The AWP 3, i.e. third generation, will prevent any tampering. They cannot be moved and even during the maintenance procedure there will be no control "gaps".
Have you decided to design this new strategy after the protests in many parts of Italy?
“We are asking for stable legislation also in the tax area. We cannot continue with proposals for national laws and local laws that pursue this or that need».
Tax problems?
"We need a single and shared bill that is already contained in the tax delegation project that will be discussed".
So do you agree that there are too many gambling halls compared to the population?
«For this reason we have agreed to reduce the number and to concentrate them in the designated places. The halls, the bars, the tobacconists. It seems curious to me that they are now also found in laundries».
And the ban on opening cinemas too close to schools?
"It seems to me a ban to be reviewed."
But do you get the appeals of doctors and priests asking for a stop for all those who ruin themselves with the game?
“We are collaborating for this too. But how many know that, despite the situation, there was again a surge in gambling in Italy in 2012?»
