Veikkaus Introduces New Restrictions on Slots in Shops

Veikkaus, a state-owned Finnish gambling company, announced new restrictions concerning slot games. Starting September 1, gamblers will have to abide by new playtime restrictions when playing in shops and grocery stores.

Veikkaus introduced new rules on slot machines. Shops will have to turn off all slot machine after 9 pm and not boot them up until 9 am. The next rule applies to all slots machines in shops, restaurants and petrol stations. Veikkas wants to identify high-risk gamblers and prevent them from playing.

The gambling monopoly, Veikkaus, introduced new restrictions on slots in shops. It wants to become a company that requires all of its customers to identify themselves before gaming. The company has to postpone its plans due to hardware shortages. In June, the company told the government it would need a year to deal with the shortages, so it has postponed its gaming plans.
