在意大利，大约有400000台老虎机：平均每150位居民就拥有1台老虎机。它是一个企业，没有危机。只要回想一下2012年意大利赌徒，花了比前一年多出高达€90000000000：€10000000000。尽管如此，然而，地方决定对老虎机说“不”的人数还是不断在增加，但这并不是那么容易的。
　　因为，据报道byterre迪适中的调查显示，当经销商放弃它的时候，他们不得不考虑，除了心理压力和有吸引力的福利损失之外，还要考虑取消收费。而且，如果这些还不够的话，国家认为赌博赚了很多钱，但它实际上是输钱的。只有成本的“社会影响”，强迫性赌博产生，达到每年6000000000€的产出值?

　　In Italy, there are about 400,000 slot machines: 1 for every 150 inhabitants. It is a business that knows no crisis. Just think that Italian gamblers in 2012, spent as much as €90 billion: €10 billion more than the previous year. Despite this, however, the places who decide to say “no” to slot machines are increasing. But it is not so easy.
　　Since, as reported byTerre di Mezzo’s survey, when dealers renounce to it, they have to take into account, in addition to psychological pressure and loss of attractive benefits, the imposition of fees in case of cancellation. And, as if that was not enough, the State thinks to earn a lot from gambling,but it actually loses money. Only the cost of the “social consequences” that compulsive gambling produces, amount to €6 billion a year.
