Slightly off topic, but it was only recently that I found out that the video game roulette and black-jack etc. machines (known as fixed odds betting terminals) are the reason there are so many bloody betting shops in the UK. The government restricted these machines to only 4 per shop. Apparently they print enough money that a betting shop will have 2 or 3 branches within walking distance to get around the limit. This is along with all the other chains doing exactly the same thing. It's madness.
