on GAMBLING
Since the Gaming Act of 1960 Britain has become the gambling centre of Europe and ' chips with everything ' has taken on a new meaning. Recent court cases have cast doubt on the legality of the games played and prompted a new Gaming Bill. Can gambling clubs survive if gamblers are really given an even chance against the bank? Might not tighter control drive clubs underground and so strengthen the protection gangs?
