Monkey Slots - UK Deals with Slot Machine Addictions

There are a growing number of individuals in the United Kingdom that are finding themselves in the grips of  a crippling gambling addiction, fueled greatly by their love of slot machines. The most heated area for this type of discussion is in Blackpool, England, where there has been a community of gambling consisting of 5,000 already present slot machines for decades now. Paul Isherwood grew up in this area and was forced by his mother to join Gamblers Anonymous at the age of fourteen.

Paul is now 32 years old and still thanks his mother for curbing his growing addiction, "I never missed school but I would gamble in secret. You learn to become a very good liar. I don't want to say all of the things I did as I am very ashamed of them." Paul’s story is one that is now being looked at from all angle in order to make the best decision about how the UK will handle the presence of slot machines in Blackpool in order to decrease youth involvement as much as possible.

One of the suggestions is to convert the current gambling environment that is one much more similar to Las Vegas style gambling destination resort, with more regulations and a tighter hold on age limited gambling. With that, there is also the need to remove the so-called “Penny Falls” games in arcades and poorly monitored “above-18” rooms easily access by children in the arcades. As Paul discovered, the most devastating addictions are those form in childhood and in one’s early teens. And slot machines tend to be the most addictive of all especially for a child without a true concept of money and the misconception that they are just “flashy arcade games”
