<p>We conducted a review of stakes and prizes during the last triennial review in
2013 and acknowledged the lack of evidence on whether FOBT gaming machines and related
stake size in themselves have had any significant effect on the level of problem gambling
in Britain. However, recognising that harm can be caused by gambling, including machine
gambling, the government brought in restrictions for the maximum unsupervised stake
on FOBTs.</p><p>More time is needed for these changes to bed in before drawing conclusions
as to their effectiveness. The Government continues to monitor the effects of existing
controls and if need be will take action if these controls are found to be insufficient.</p>
