UK government pauses plans to change the 80/20 gaming machine rule in 2025
The UK government will not change the 80/20 gaming machine rule during 2025, according to the report, which cites confirmation from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. The rule limits category B3 machines to 20% of the machines in a gaming or bingo venue; the government has not ruled out a later review. Bacta president John Bollom said he was frustrated by the delay.
Operators must continue to comply with the existing limit on category B3 machines in venues.
