That means that once a fortnight in each LBO someone loses a thousand.
Is that really so shocking?

No, but I think the point is those numbers are based on those mahcines only. I could be wrong. But when I'm in the bookies it's normally the poorest people doing chunks in these machines, tey genuninley believe they have a chance of winning.
If someone is losing a bag in a single session, they aint the poorest....they may be afterwards however......
I'm not same the poorest people are the ones losing a bag a session and I don't think the article is either.
There is no doubt though that the people who fair worse out of these machines are the poorest and les educated. When they first hit the shots they were riddled with bugs and you used to be able to take advantage of them but that is no longer the case.
Plus more games have been added over the years to cater for more gamblers.
