When a gamble is fair game for the EC

Article Abstract:

As European Community (EC) gambling law lacks uniformity, a report was commissioned examining the four principal gambling markets in member states. These were lotteries, horse racing, casinos and gaming machines. Illegal cross-border betting is posing a threat to individual national lotteries except in the United Kingdom which does not have one. Betting on horses is state-controlled in France though private elsewhere. Gaming machine prizes vary in the EC as does regulation of casinos, which can be either state-run or private.

Game for another gamble

Article Abstract:

The UK's casinos believe that they will attract many more customers in 1995 as a result of changed regulations which now allow them to offer the Casino Stud Poker and Super Pan 9 card games in addition to the four games which have been played for the last 25 years. The chances of winning are higher than those of winning the National Lottery, and the games are relatively easy to play. Many customers are already expressing interest in learning the rules, and casinos are making a reasonable profit from each player.

Life's just one long gamble

Article Abstract:

Being a really successful gambler on horse racing requires a great deal of work, according to Mark Holder, who devotes his life to gambling. He uses a wide range of resources to gain extensive information about the performance of individual horses, and visits race meetings every day. He does not earn a vast income from gambling, mainly because he tends to be rather cautious. He also runs a tipping service.
