Here is another interesting documentary about gambling. I found the part where the arcade operator talks openly about the double standards that the state applies to private arcades and its own gambling offers particularly interesting.

The arcade operator's criticism is not new in itself. I've read it here many times^^ Incidentally, it also applies to eating/drinking. Still allowed in casinos, but banned in casinos for some time now. What is relatively interesting, however, is all the documentation of incidents regarding Player protection measures / youth protection. As I understand it, it is documented who is banned. I also wonder whether they also have to document attempts by banned players. The other logs are also very interesting. Control rounds and the most interesting protocol for me is the one for the observation characteristics for the early detection of problem players. How do you recognize that? How do you know that someone has run out of money? Talking to them - that's clear, but what if the player lies or isn't talkative? But I am shocked at how much the employees "normally" have to pay attention to. If I compare this with my visits, I can only remember one employee who tried to talk to me and advised me to accept the cashpot of €60. Apart from that, I was always left alone lol

I was also shown the documents in my main hall when I asked nicely why the guy next to me had been fiddling with the machine for months. It felt like he was pressing the book button 30 times, tapping the screen frantically in certain places and finally swiping from left to right across the screen. His behavior not only disturbs the other guests, but could also be a clear indication of a strong gambling addiction.
When I brought this up, I was told: "I've already noted it several times and passed it on, but nobody cares."
So yes, the checklists exist, but they seem to be more hot air. Nobody gets banned because of this.

Yes, they couldn't do more than make notes and pass them on. I was just extremely surprised at how many things the employees have to pay attention to, whereas you certainly don't have to pay any attention to them at casinos. As a player, I also find it scary that you can be scrutinized like that there. I've never noticed that before, but that's another reason for me to avoid casinos in general.

Scary? Whether someone checks me or not is irrelevant if you have nothing to hide. It's more scary when the guy next to you is waving his arms around. What do you mean he goes crazy and pulls out a knife? Unfortunately, this is possible everywhere in Germany these days.

Your scenario is also possible, of course, or if someone ambushes you after a visit and attacks you. It's not like it's never happened before...
But that's another fear I was referring to. I don't mind that someone is so meticulous about controlling my behavior. I generally have nothing to hide, but I don't think it's okay for someone to analyze me so "profoundly". Pause the video and read through what they have to "control". Some of the points are really borderline. But no wonder, if you want to go in, you have to show your ID etc. Pure control. Who knows if they don't carry out some kind of internal "customer analysis" with the data.

Pure nostalgia the old vending machines at the beginning of the post
The documentary is a bit older but still interesting, with Gauselmann and co.
I've known them for years and watch them again and again because it's just a bit of nostalgia. And a little fun fact: I've also bought machines from the young man in the documentary.
If you have no problems with the English language, you are welcome to watch this video.
The video is not a reportage per se. I would rather classify the video as a documentary.
Among other things, it shows how casino operators try to weaken their competitors and damage their reputation.
Some of the actions really surprised me. I've always been aware that people will do pretty much anything for money, but I wasn't aware that they would go this far.
I can only recommend the video, as it's really hard to find out otherwise.

I feel the same way about slots. From my point of view, it's a pure waste of money, especially since the new state treaty.

Well, with sports betting you have a bit more control than with slots, at least you can talk yourself into it 🤣
