(ANSA) - Rome, May 23 - The government is to bring forward a
15% cut in the number of State-run slot machines in Italy to
this year, political sources said Tuesday. The machines will be
cut by 30% by April 2018. The government has been under
pressure to cut slot machines amid rising gambling addiction,
despite the revenue the State-sponsored gaming and gambling
brings in. The cuts will bring the number of slot machines in
Italy down to 265,000, sources said.
