Some weeks ago I visited Potsdam close to Berlin.
I noticed that the rules and regulations seem to reduce compulsive gambling and other kind of abuse there.
An example:
In the halls with slot machines alcohol is not allowed.
Now I have read in DER SPIEGEL No. 46, page 52 (the weekly magazine) that a group of psychology students
PRETENDED TO BE COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS.
The staff reacted as if they did not care - or even told the "victims" how to win.
Compulsive gambling does not seem to be as issue there - or here?
