Petition Limiting maximum stake to £10 per spin on roulette machines in betting shops

Fixed odds betting terminal (fobts) have been in betting shops since the early 90s. They have a maximum stake of £100 but spin every 20 seconds. I personally have been working in the industry for years and have seen the destructive impact on families these machines cause.

More details

An average betting shop stake on horse racing is £10 so the stake on the fobts should be in line with all other betting mediums.
