I really can't see the problem here. We already have casinos, betting shops, arcades etc. If people will get addicted then they will anyway; and at the end of the day, how far do you go to protect the individual? Ban cigarettes incase they get addicted? Ban alcohol? Ban the internet? These are all things that can damage health and/or relationships. It's time for people to take responsibility for their actions.

On the plus side, it will give employment to many people, initially in the construction industry, and later in the entertainment sector. It will also reduce the number of people who go to Vegas etc for a true gambling holiday (possibly).

My only concern would be the removal of background checks which necessitate the current 24 hour joining period. Other than that, all seems good to me.
