IMHO we should distinguish between "real casinos" and those called for instance "Automaten Casino" in Germany, but simply for marketing reasons (there is a huge difference, mainly in how much you can loose in a short time ;-) ). While of the first ones exist only relatively few and they will usually also have rooms with games like poker, black jack or roulette, the latter ones only do have arcade like gambling machines. Both are typically regulated (in Europe), i.e. there are precise rules how long one game must take, how much it may cost and how much you will loose in the long run (e.g. in Germany you will get back 60% of what you put in). Also the "real Casinos" will usually have slot machines, but they are different kind of machines, the maximum possible win is more, but will also loose much faster and bigger amounts of money. IMHO this differentiation should be made in the main tag, not on subtag level. This is an example for what I call a "real casino" (de:Spielbank): http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monte_Carlo_Casino.jpg and this for a so-called "Automaten Casino" (de:Spielhalle): http://www.max-bet.de/Nuernberger.jpg cheers, Martin
