Lets do some basic maths. You can bet £100 every 20 seconds. Statistically you lose 2.7% per spin, so that's £2.70 a spin, £8.10 a minute or £486 an hour. This is wrong, ban them.

This is a very much biased source betting machines don't take all your away,they take a small part of your money.This source is making statements about things that are untrue.The people who make such machines don't want to take away all your money .They just want to create a business by taking away
small amounts of your money.That is kind of the way all business work other wise they would not be able to operate and this is why do not think Ireland or the UK should put a ban on this type of machine and who does David Cameron have to say to think they should many thanks Michael John Clee

They have completely gripped me, I'm totally addicted. They have no limit and I can lose everything I own in one hour. Please keep the fight up on tackling the governments greed.
