Funding Office Reinickendorf: Controls of gaming devices in focus
In May 2024, the Reinickendorf Ordnungsamt carried out a focus campaign to control gaming equipment. A total of 44 devices were checked and 20 findings were made. The aim of this campaign was to review compliance with the legal regulations and to identify violations of the right to the game. The results showed that there is still a need for action to ensure compliance with the statutory provisions. The service staff of the field will therefore continue to carry out controls in order to check the safety and correctness in the slot machine area and to protect users from illegal activities.
In Germany, there are strict regulations for the operation of slopes to ensure player protection and to counteract illegal gambling. This includes regular controls of the devices as well as compliance with technical requirements and operating regulations. The checks also serve to ensure that all devices are properly approved.
The district councilor Julia Schrod-Thiel emphasizes the importance of regular checks and measures to ensure the integrity and safety of gambling. Only through consistent monitoring can violations of the right to play be recognized at an early stage and corresponding measures are taken.
The following table lists some relevant information on the controls of money play equipment in May 2024:
| Number of check -ups checked | 44 |
| Number of findings in the controls | 20 |
It is important that the authorities continue to remain vigilant and carry out regular checks in order to ensure security and legality in the area of gaming equipment. Compliance with the legal regulations is crucial to ensure player protection and to combat illegal activities.
