Rejected petition Ban the FOBT(fixed odds betting terminals) or fruit machines from high streets.

It is destroying peoples lives and it's immoral to bankrupt others with a computer program knowing that gambling it's a disease.

More details

FOBT are without doubt a "cancer" for 10 years now. These machines take 1000£ in 30 min but if you hit the jackpot you only win 500£,that's max payout. They should be legal only in casinos with a progressive jackpot attached. Only bets should be allowed in shops(fottbal horses whether etc) help me ban them
