Reading Time: < 1 minute

Dutch gambling regulator Kansspelautoriteit (KSA) has ruled that Dutch arcades can no longer run machines based on games of chance in a move to preserve and protect the family environments of arcade venues.

The KSA compliance was sponsored by the Family Entertainment Centers Nederland (FEC Nederland) of the Netherlands arcade trade body, which wrote to representatives to accept the KSA’s system removal action plan.

The KSA claimed in its ruling that the general make-up of venues has changed dramatically, with games of chance machines in entertainment centres frequently serving as the first point of contact for underage gambling interactions.
