nope, I'd imagine they're running this under a higher Cat licence meaning they could have a £500 m/c but they've had this instead to test the market. They won't get released on mass until the licenceing laws get altered so that Cat C is upto £70 JP.

it cant be put in under another licence, unless they have a casino license.

a 500er has to be random

a 75er has to be <30p a game

sited illegally till the laws are passed

Why does the £500 have to be random??

A



A gaming machine that does not fall into any other category.

B1



A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed £2, and the value of the prize that may be won in any one game does not exceed £4,000 in money or as a non-monetary prize.

B2



A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed £100, and the value of the prize that may be won in any one game does not exceed £500 in money or as a non-monetary prize.

B3



A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed £1, and the value of the prize that may be won in any one game does not exceed £500 in money or as a non-monetary prize.

B4



A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed £1, and the value of the prize that may be won in any one game does not exceed £250 in money or as a non-monetary prize.

C



A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed 5p; and
*A gaming machine where the amount required to play the game once does not exceed 50p, and the value of the prize that may be won in any one game does not exceed £35 in money or as a non-monetary prize.

Surely a Cat B licence would allow a £1 stake £70 JP on your premises??

I think you can operate £1 play £70 jp legally as Cat B. The only thing it won't be legally allowed to is roll over multiple credits. But it could legally pay £210 on one credit as it doesn't exceed the £500 in one game

agreed ,i think the gambling commission is a toothless tiger,they don't have the resources to crackdown on most illicit practices,although they do have enough funding to pay bonuses to their bods :|
