Virtual Roulette, according to many surveys is a “very popular” game among British gamblers who were found to stake over £290m on it, which is three times more than they bet on the National Lottery. This new craze is identified by the official name of FOBTs, or “fixed –odds betting terminals” installed mostly in bookies across the country. The effects of the roulette wheel they produce are so real and powerful that it usually takes less than an hour for an inexperienced player to lose himself in the game and his money along the way.
Super-casinos have ruthlessly been supplanted by virtual roulettes. It seems as if all the journalists, editors, bishops and social workers have bonded in their mutual desire to profane super-casinos fearing that another Las-Vegas is rising on the horizon, but the relaxation of the gambling laws allowing the existence of smaller casinos across the country is a far more dangerous venture. Those seemingly innocuous facilities with one or more virtual roulette machines are much more poisonous than anything catered by the “proper” casino.
You can literally walk up any high street in any town on any day of the week and be able to insert up to £500 for a single spin and even if you are short of cash the machine will gladly accept your credit card with an assassinate of a cashier. If you’ve gotten tired from pressing repeatedly on the start button – no worries the auto button will do the job for you. Roulette machines created a turnover which is estimated in over £15bn - too bad the gambling addiction is surging as well.
