Gambling halls are also dependent on the State Treaty on Gambling. This is also adapted from state to state.
For the most part, amusement arcades adhere to these regulations. Anyone can look them up on the Internet.

Drinks may no longer be offered free of charge, but are based on the restaurant prices in the surrounding area. However, many amusement arcades are generous enough to offer their regular guests drinks free of charge or only charge for the occasional drink.
Smoking is now also prohibited inside the arcade in almost all federal states.
Promotional gifts at Christmas, Easter etc. are also prohibited. So the only thing left is attention from the arcade operator. However, I make sure that only our regular guests receive these gifts and not the guests who only drop by once a year for Christmas presents.

Now to talk about the minimum wage. Gambling halls, regardless of their size, are not part of any collective agreement. Either you work for a larger gambling hall operator (Merkur, Admiral or the Löwen Group) and get a reasonably good wage there, as well as a Christmas bonus and vacation pay, or you opt for the small gambling hall operators, where you are fleeced like a Christmas goose. No Bonuses, no pay rise, many don't even pay the minimum wage.

Most gambling halls were not closed because they went bankrupt, but because they had a toleration, which has now expired and the pending court proceedings have been decided (i.e. distance to other gambling halls, kindergarten or school nearby, etc.), which can also be easily read in the State Treaty on Gambling.

Then there is Berlin, for example, which has such strict laws regarding gambling halls that many operators there have closed their doors. Because it is simply no longer profitable to comply with the laws there.

Believe me, there is nothing more annoying for the arcade employee, who always has to justify why why why why... hardly anyone questions certain things why this and that is the case, but always thinks: arcades are all broke, can no longer afford it and are angry because they now have to pay €1 for a drink and complain to the service staff. No major arcade operator likes to take money from you for drinks and only gives you a small gift. If we had our way, we'd turn back time a few years, before Oasis, before TR5 etc. But that's not possible. As a player, you either come to terms with it and live with the restrictions, just like every arcade operator has to do, or you don't do it.
Incidentally, all these restrictions do not apply in casinos, which may be an alternative for many.

In the city of Bayreuth there are currently 9 open halls and 11 closed ones. This can be continued at will with other cities such as Roding Kulmbach Pfarrkirchen Waldkirchen Oberstdorf.
Since these are cities in the state of Bavaria, where there is no amusement tax and no distance rules to other gambling halls have to be observed.

Presumably, the many legal measures such as TR. 5 activation, ID control and last but not least the stinginess of the boxes - with game variant LA - and so on are the cause.

There is no entertainment tax in Bavaria ? I didn't know that before. That means that in Bavaria the Slot machines that pay out more have a better RTP because they are simply burdened with less tax?
