A meeting of the Home Affairs Committee will be held this Thursday in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania state legislature. The programme also has the initiative of the FDP Parliamentary Group on the subject of gambling regulation. This is about strict distance regulations for arcades and related economic effects on operators and employees. 슬롯머신
Last year, the Mecklenburg-Western Pomeranian state legislature approved a 2021 state treaty on gambling. The red-black state government has decided to allow the previously determined minimum distance rule. Therefore, arcades in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania must maintain a distance of 500 meters from each other and from the school.
FDP CEO René Domke described a new push to ease strict street restrictions as risks from illegal gambling increase. If there is no legal proposal, it is feared that gambling will be illegal in the future.
The Left also supports this view. Their domestic policy spokesman, Michael Noetzel, told the local newspaper Nordcourier that the current regulations should be reviewed. You detour reality. When it comes to addictive behavior, the main source of risk for children and young people is online games, not arcades.
Many operators complained about the company’s closure because of fears of its existence. For example, 41 lawsuits are currently pending in the Greifswald High Administration Court.
In addition to industry, municipalities should expect losses. According to estimates, they could lose around EUR 30 million from their budget in the future. Therefore, it remains to be seen whether the FDP’s plan will succeed.
