I had read +XingCai’s blog on the betting shops in United Kingdoms with curiosity. I think they would be similar to our local CT but without any reference as I had no idea what these betting shops look like. Thanks to BBC News Magazine comprehensive photo coverage, my curiosity is satisfied. Sharing the photos here will help satisfy the inquiring minds of GGC members where these establishments are concern. These are some big name in the industry which often crops up when you read about betting shops or bookmakers in the UK.
The picture below is a payday loan company.
Here is a picture of the Fixed Odds Betting Terminals (FOBT), which their former Treasury Minster claims is the crack cocaine of gambling. Comparing them with our local equivalent, I do not see much difference. I don’t see how these machines can cause so much trouble. If the trouble would go to the extend as depicted in SavySeph’s Manga, then it would be better to avoid these areas while traveling in the UK.
A picture paints a thousand words. I find it informative.
ReplyDeleteI could imagine it but the picture helps a lot.
