so no idea if it's the east or if there are usually no controls here but where I would call myself a regular guest don't think much of rules except that 3h a day is closed..you can smoke everywhere, drink for free, can play several devices at the same time and sometime at Easter this holiday where no booth is allowed to be open from 6-14h anyway at gas stations the machines are never off here and at all kebab stalls or China noodle things you can gamble all day despite Oasis lock.

Do you win more there because they don't pay taxes? I used to visit such an illegal gambling hall once with a buddy and was surprised at the number of Slot machines in there. There were at least 50 of them. But nowadays the state tracks everything much more meticulously than back then. I can't even imagine that there are still illegal gambling halls today, because if people were to lose their money there, there would certainly be enough of them who would then report them to the police out of frustration. In the past, things weren't as strict as they are today.

No, not necessarily. The AQ can be determined at will and there is no guaranteed AQ, as is the case with legal machines. So there will probably be fewer illegal arcades, but illegal machines still exist today. Machines are declared illegal if they are not connected to the network. Sometimes this is done deliberately, but sometimes it is due to ignorance. I started gambling in 2019 and there was a machine in my betting shop where you could Deposit larger banknotes, the balance was booked directly as play money, etc. I thought it was cool because I also wanted to gamble. I thought it was cool because I wanted to play more than €2 per spin, so I put about €100 in there and either lost €50 or got +-0. The AQ felt worse than on the legal machines, but that may just have been my feeling.

In any case, someone reported it and the machine was shut down. Of course, the operator of the betting shop didn't say exactly what had happened.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Dude where do you live
That's how it was here 10 years ago or even longer ago that you were allowed to smoke

Had 3 regular stalls and for all 3 I had the number and called tada door open ^^
So they were normal spielos
But once I was in an illegal hall with 8 machines and a bar in an apartment🙉
I won well there and was quickly gone ^^
These days I stay away from it
So how it looks today with it kp

Sounds like a nice spot on earth hahahaha

Our city seems to have money problems, they are currently using every means at their disposal to take money from you through parking fines, the public order office also likes to visit you 3 times a day to see if everything is ok my record 5 minutes 2x 25 € !!!!!

There are enough halls that have a license and yet are often open illegally until the morning. The blinds are rolled down, locked and you play until the morning when you want to leave, you go through the mysterious door. They're just small halls, not chains.

Nowadays, many people feel bullied very quickly. Because of the smallest things. These so-called "feelings" have somehow replaced the motivation, and perhaps even the ability, to take a critical look at oneself. I agree with Diplomatenhans on that.

Participants in a difference of opinion ... 😂

Self-reflection makes you ill. Feelings are important...

Self-reflection corrects imbalances on many levels. That's healthy Of course feelings are important. They're part of life, but they shouldn't be pushed in front of you like a monstrance for every little thing. That is toxic.

Unless, of course, they are there. Then it is toxic not to pursue them or express them.

This may actually be partly due to the East, or more precisely the respective federal state. With a 3-hour lockdown, I'm guessing Saxony-Anhalt! The fact that you can play despite the lockdown or on Good Friday is of course illegal, hence partly.

Whether a machine is connected to a network or not has nothing to do with whether it is legal or illegal. Anyone who sets up illegal boxes knows exactly what they are doing. It has nothing to do with ignorance. And the number of illegal devices is increasing. You make it sound as if there are still a few illegal devices here and there.

I'm sure the betting shop operator said to himself "I'm not allowed to have any gambling machines in the betting shop anyway, so I might as well make it really illegal...." In terms of thinking, it's not even that stupid: there are still enough regulatory authorities that can be brushed off with the explanation that it's not a gambling machine.

Nice theory, in practice it's mental suicide. Gritting your teeth for a moment, okay, sometimes that's necessary. But that's not a recipe for a healthy life.

I have nothing against a cultivated argument, but fortunately, attaching importance to a compatible relationship hasn't caused me mental suicide either

Too much politeness in order to experience a compatible coexistence would not be for me. Sooner or later I would burst. I do quite well without all the politeness stuff when it's appropriate and things are said like:

"Oh, you live near me. I'll just drop by". I don't like that at all and I say so straight away. Especially when it comes from people you hardly know or colleagues who think you're particularly keen to see them after work. The reactions are really priceless.

Apart from that, I think you should show your feelings. But some people show every little emotion to the outside world, which seems too extreme to me.

Of course, personal points of view must be represented and disputes must be fought out if necessary. The best way to do this is objectively and without being insulting....I think it's a sign of weakness. Remember that, you little w******

"then I'll just drop by" 😂😂

That's cool too. I would probably say okay out of a lack of politeness. And then make excuses every time in the hope that the other person checks.


What do you say then?

"Thanks, but it's not necessary."

"you do that once and never again..."

"your mother is coming over!"

Or even more diplomatic?
