There are no age restrictions on fruit machines and slot machines in amusement arcades and fairs but many arcades have a voluntary code to exclude under 18’s. Local authorities may have bylaws and regulations in force that set age limits at 18. People must be over 18 to enter a casino or betting shop.
PRIZE MONEY
The payout must be at least 70 pence in the pound. There are restrictions on the maximum payouts in cash and in tokens.
GAMBLING CONTRACTS
Gambling contracts cannot be enforced by law. Therefore if the loser refuses to pay they cannot be taken to court.
