I have two spilos that I have visited regularly. One right by the office. Here people could operate several machines. The other, right by where I live. Here there is an employee who stringently prevents this. So it always depends on the employee.

It depends more on the boss and whether he runs the store according to the motto "the city is stupid, they don't control anyway" or whether he is afraid of paying high fines

Only one code or player card may be issued per person multiple recording is fined up to €500,000
If you want to cheat now you can come with the argument that booking is playing and thus you could start any number of roller games at the same time but explain that to the regulatory office when they control
Admittedly, I love arcade documentaries. It reminds me of the time 10 years ago, where I moved with my buddy in Berlin after work from one arcade to the next. We knew all (really all) arcades in Berlin back then. No matter whether Löwenplay, Joker, Merkur or Admiral Spielothek. It was really an expensive hobby, but so much fun, because you experienced the craziest things from everyday life.
There were people who spat on the machine out of frustration. But the employees at Vulkan in Marzahn were usually so present that they asked people to clean and banned them from the premises if this happened more than once.
Also, there were once 3 Chinese friends in their 50s sitting next to each other at the machines. We just wondered why they could still sit there after 8 hours.
They were drinking coffee and eating their candy bowls the whole time.
Later it came out that they had diapers on. Diapers so they could gamble without a break
Yes that sounds crazy, but those are things you experience and never forget.
I also had to go to the bathroom myself, went in the bathroom and right back out to the Spielo employee to let him know that something was wrong. It stank beastly! But the toilet was clean.
The employee came, looked, sink clean, toilet also. But the trash can. My goodness... There was a guest (probably out of anger) doing his big business in the trash can.
Bah and while the employee eliminated the problem it also became clear who caused it then. One of the Chinese with the diaper was the troublemaker, he stole ridiculously then also all the Christmas cookies from the candy plate and left the Spielo while the employee cleaned the "toilet".
Otherwise, I always associate the visits to the arcades with a lot of fun, but probably only because we always went in pairs.
Alone was never an option for us. It wasn't about big money, but we had set ourselves the goal of visiting every gambling house in Berlin once.
However, we were most often at Löwenplay, next to the HEM gas station, above the supermarket near the Alexa.

Show me the law where it says that multiple play is punishable by €500,000. I don't know any operator who has ever been fined for this (no matter how much). Besides, the 500,000 € is the maximum rate. As a rule, this is 100 times the usual fine, in order to nip complaints about disproportionality in the bud ("You only have to pay 1% of the maximum amount as a fine.")
You are of course right that only one card or code may be issued to the player. But according to §6 Abs 5 SpielV, the operator "... must continue to ensure...[]... that the player returns a reusable means of identification immediately after the end of the gaming operation." Since codes are not reusable (and that's the reason they came up with the code thing in the first place and can use that as an alternative to the reusable card), that doesn't apply to codes. Means: Player A and B go to the hall and get a code for device 1 and 2. Player A goes home and player B continues to play on both devices. This is legal
Even though the documentary is certainly a bit one-sided on the subject of arcades, I think you should have seen it.
I found the passages most interesting where the gambling machines were built and the software was programmed.
Especially how the winning probabilities are calculated in Excel tables... you can have a look and write what you think about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFJGBL4uQiQ

The two collectors have a nice assortment, but honestly? I would never put even 1 box in my room. Regardless of the fact that I would feel bad every day because my game problem would ALWAYS be noticeable, I would be embarrassed to let someone into my den...

I just rummaged through my old photo archive and actually found a picture of my Magic Games machine.
I had it in my living room at that time. I bought the machine on eBay for about 300 euros. The photo was taken in 2009, when I was 24.
But I wasn't ashamed of it - I had just finished my apprenticeship as an electronics technician and put a lot of effort into the restoration of this machine. I changed all the lamps and soldered something to make everything work again.
Unfortunately it didn't have Book of Ra software, for that I would have had to buy a Magic Games II.
The 800 Euro for such a Magic Games II machine was too much for me at that time.
But it gave me the chance to get a deeper insight into the machines.
However, I sold the machine a few years later to a friend who is a technician at the BVG and who is enthusiastic about slot machines.
Even my parents still have a Slot machine hanging in the basement to this day.
He runs only on DM, but they have saved a few coins and let him every 2 years times up and turn the reels
Yes ok that is something else, if one is interested technically also in it. Maybe I exaggerated a bit because I was shocked by the number of machines that the couple from the documentary has in the booth I say so it is a fine line 😁 Nice box in the picture by the way. Was there only Dolphin on it?
