In the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg and a petition calling for the implementation of a fairer set of gambling laws has reportedly been signed by over 5,000 people.
According to a report from G3Newswire, this petition was initiated by the state’s gaming machine industry after local government officials passed a measure that will require all slot parlors and gambling halls to be located at least 1,640 feet away from any school or educational facility from June 30.
