Clause 79 - Return of stakes to children
Gambling Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Richard Caborn (Minister of State (Sport and Tourism), Department for Culture, Media & Sport; Sheffield Central, Labour)
The amendments would ensure that children were still able to play some low-level games, such as the teddy cranes, in family entertainment centres; otherwise clause 79 would effectively prevent them from doing so.
Amendment No. 284 would redefine ''prize'' to cover prizes in respect of gambling, including betting and lotteries, instead of just gaming. Without it, the clause would regulate the return of prizes to children and young persons in relation to gaming, and not betting or lotteries.
Amendment agreed to.
Amendment made: No. 283, in page 35, line 15, at end insert
', or (b) participation in equal chance gaming at a licensed family entertainment centre.'.—[Mr. Caborn.]
