Merkur UK: White Paper awaited to be a balanced, proportionate and reasonable

The introduction of a balanced proportionate and reasonable Gambling Act which includes the ability to offer gaming machine players the opportunity to use cashless payments methods were top of the wish list of operators visiting the impressive Blueprint Operations stand at EAG, the leading exhibition for the amusements and gaming entertainment industry.

“The feedback I received was of an industry that’s hugely frustrated at the delay in publishing. Low stake gambling entertainment operators are major contributors to local and regional economies and their hope is that the white paper will provide a framework for a modern new gambling act which is fair, progressive and which has responsible gambling at its core”, explained Blueprint Managing Director David Purvis, related to the anxiety among operators caused by the delay in publishing the white paper.
