New details of the Goks Act planned by the FPö in Salzburg left the opposition foam. The distances to kindergarten or AMS positions are too low and the state government would only want to polish its budget at the expense of addicts, the opposition criticizes.
A total of 472 new machines must be used legally in the state of Salzburg. These must be subdivided into three concessions. Ten to 50 machines can be in a casino. At least when it comes to deputy governor Marlene Svazek (FPö). You want to save 100 meters from kindergarten, addiction advice, schools or AMS functions.
Simon Heilig-Hofbauer (Greens) says: “We are against legalization. But if you want to do this, the distance must be at least 300 meters and you have to take social provisions or youth centers on the list.
According to FPö, legalization is to move illegal gamblers and the protection of the players is increasing. A game on the machine must be covered with ten euros and last at least two seconds. A gambler could use a total of 18,000 euros per hour; Daily limit: four hours.
Tarik Mete, Spö, criticizes: “It cannot be that the public sector benefits from the addiction of people and is dependent on the money. The legalization and therefore the extra machine offer will increase demand, not reduce.
