Britons placed a record 6.1 billion bets on slot games in March. Intensive gambling sessions lasting over an hour hit a new peak of 2.7 million. MPs demand the Government's ongoing shake-up of gambling laws take the explosion of online betting into account. There are now 3.3 million online slots players and 5.9 million sports bettors.
