I think that the aim of the documentary commissioned by the Slot machine industry was to circumvent the advertising ban. I think this documentary had a lot of success at that time and drove many into Gambling addiction (ask the pensioners or the somewhat older players in your regular gaming arcade . At that time there was no internet where people could inform themselves and discuss. You had to trust what the television told you.
I have seen the reel machines but never played them myself - except maybe once for fun in a pub where I threw 2 euros in and lost and made fun of the mostly older players and thought how stupid you have to be to keep throwing money in. I only became addicted in 2008 / 2009 at about 26 when the Merkur and Novomatic boxes came on the market at the same time as my depression ...
At 35, after a win of 70,000€ (if everything works out - which I firmly believe it will), I have now finally stopped playing. If I add up all the losses from Spielos, casinos and Online Casinos, I still made high four-digit losses. But I just have to tick them off. It won't get any better than it is now, and I probably wouldn't experience a better time to stop.

That's right, this was a "viral video" in the style of the 80s.
No idea how many have become victims of this Gauselmann campaign at that time!?
have only older devices at home and it is much more fun- pushing coins and buttons than sitting in front of the screen and watching the reels bored....

fun. Are guests allowed to gamble at your place?
With me privately it is so regulated if someone wants to gamble I always have a few coin rolls there think with our legendary Frankyboy (greetings go out at this point again) it will be similar
The law is unfortunately very serious about such things that otherwise lay out as illegal gambling
i gamble only alone... everything else would be illegal;-)
had then a Zockerkumpel who had visited me regularly ... Unfortunately, I've only afterwards beklaekommen had... not a nice thing when you're friendship is stolen and the guy has made a good face to the bad game...
i would have wanted, I would have him the worst types on the neck hetzen can.
But all have advised me to dismiss it as a lesson...... .
It is certainly difficult with friends.
It would be no problem to let them gamble.
If then but losses are brought in, promote the
usually also their money back.
