Here is a link to an article about it. Although it was actually only 8 months he got.
Essentially he operated hundreds of skill roulette machines without a licence, as he claims they were not games of chance and didnt need one. He was wrong.

Philip Kolvin QC, who represented the Gambling Commission in this case, said: “The Gambling Commission is an effective national regulator and the case demonstrates the great importance for operators of co-operating in a frank and open manner with Commission investigations.”
An effective national regulator? Humph!

Its not illegal to have % based games, just so long as its clearly stated and licensed as.Been-Grant-Mitchell'd! wrote:Makes me laugh how the GC will investigate when it comes to license dodging etc, but not when illegal programs are mentioned.
unless you can give an example of a unlawful program(you describe as illegal)?
No different as in bent practices. Do the GC audit the bookies? The bookies rely on FOBTs to make any profit. The bookies analyse FOBT data continuously to ensure profits are consistent. The games have been tightened up in terms of payout profiles. Playing to a payout profile is not random. The bookies get away with this because people still unquestioningly believe the machines are random. Why? Because the bookies tell them so. You have to laugh.Roll_With_It_Russ wrote:as for this being the same as a fobt, that is compleatly wrong, an fobt never attempts to represent the games as skill based, rather random games of chance
