英格兰数百家成人游戏中心持有仍有资格享受营业税率折扣的宾果游戏牌照，除非政府堵住允许其伪装成宾果游戏厅的漏洞，否则数百家商业街“老虎机店”将继续申请营业税率折扣。
Hundreds of adult gaming centres in England have bingo licences that still qualify them for discounted business rates Hundreds of high street “slot farms” could continue claiming a discount on their business rates, unless the government closes a loophole that allows them to pose as bingo halls.
约翰·希利在本周的首次预算案中特别点名了成人游戏中心，他在预算案中将老虎机收入的税率从百分之二十提高到百分之二十五，并声称他正在“提高博彩税收，以支持每条商业街的良好增长”。
John Healey singled out adult gaming centres (AGCs) in his first budget this week, in which he increased duty on slot machine takings from 20% to 25%, claiming he was “raising taxes on gambling to support good growth on every high street”.
