Betting machines stake limits: Review recommends change
In a move that will change the betting market in Britain, the commission said the stake limit should be £2 on FOBT slot games, such as fruit machines.
It also suggested game limits per session, tracked play and player limits in a wide ranging report.
Gambling Commission chief executive Neil McArthur said: "We've put consumers at the heart of our advice - advice which is based on the best available evidence and is focused on reducing the risk of gambling-related harm.'
"In our judgement, a stake cut for fixed-odds betting terminals alone doesn't go far enough to protect vulnerable people.
"That is why we have recommended a stake cut plus a comprehensive package of other measures to protect consumers."
