The UK government has decided to delay proposed changes to regulations regarding high-stakes slot machines in adult gaming centres, amid rising caution for player protection. Originally, the industry sought to alter the "80/20 rule" that restricts the percentage of high-stakes B3 machines. Despite earlier indications of a regulatory shift favoring AGCs, recent scrutiny following incidents of exploitation of vulnerable players has led the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to withhold further changes for the year, prioritizing the need for stronger safeguards.
The UK government's decision to delay the relaxation of high-stakes slot machine rules highlights growing concerns over the protection of vulnerable players in gaming centers.
The move to pause regulatory changes reflects the government's increasing awareness of the risks posed by adult gaming centres to at-risk populations, despite industry lobbying for more profitable machines.
