Are More Slot Machines Really Needed?

Playtime Gaming is arguing that they need more slot machines. They said that they have way too many people trying to play the slot machines and that they cannot keep up with customer demand. So they have decided that they need to add more of them so that they can make their customers happy. So they have asked the Abbotsford City Council if they can bring them in – only there is one small problem, the law states that you can only have a max of 125 slot machines.

The venue is asking the city council to remove the covenant, as they have the ability to house 300 slot machines. They currently have 125 slot machines and 192 personal play bingo machines – as bingo is still the main focus of most of their clients. But Councilman Simon Gibson felt that the additional slot machines were a bad idea. He felt that there should still be controls in place to keep the amount of gambling to a minimum. Councilman Bill Mac Gregor agreed and said that “slot machines offer the worst return on the dollar.” He said he would prefer that the venue offer table games instead of increasing the number of slot machines. He feels like their clients have more control over a win if they are at a table game and therefore not as likely to lose so much money.

The council ultimately postponed any kind of vote on the slot machines as they felt that they needed more information to make a fair ruling.
