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

Closed on

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.

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.
