The game, the media and the imbecile tax

(Jamma) – In recent days, the relationship between the Press and the operators of legal gaming has been really difficult. An example is the article:

"Lottomatic took it badly. Who, like me – writes Claudio Sabelli Fioretti in IO DONNA, Il Feminine of CORRIERE DELLA SERA – hates gambling and considers it a tax on imbeciles, cannot afford to criticize the gambler state. The director of Media communications wrote to us Lottomatica Group that the Scratch and Win returns 75 percent of the amounts played. Said like this it seems good but we can also say that Scratch and Win retains 25 percent of the amounts played. And if you think that the queen of gambling, roulette, retains only 2,7 percent of the amounts played, you will instantly understand what we are talking about. The director also says that information on the odds of winning is easily available at all points of sale as well as on the grattaevinci.com website. But what does it have to do with it? Does it help to know before you play that there is someone who wants to take 25 percent of what you play from you? I think, perhaps I'm wrong, that gambling should be banned, not exploited by the state. And if I call scratch cards a tax on imbeciles, I don't want to offend players but I want to warn them against those who want to take advantage of their naivety. In each case the problem was a little different and the manager doesn't address it. The problem was hypocrisy. Can you simultaneously try to convince a person to spend money in an attempt to win and, without batting an eye, launch the slogan "play without exaggerating"? Don't you think you're exaggerating?"
