Merkur Slots gets several mentions (not in a good way) in a programme on Radio 4 that was broadcast today:

File on Four Investigates: Adult Gaming Centres

It's clear from this programme that some vulnerable people are losing much more than they can afford and that lives are being ruined.

And if the experiences recounted here are typical, it's clear that AGCs aren't enforcing blocking of vulnerable customers most of the time. And that local authorities aren't monitoring them effectively - just another of the myriad things that councils are suppoed to do but simply can't afford to because governments have been starving them of money.
