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.
