Equipment - destroy

Recently, once in Murmansk Forensic Center ATC in the Murmansk region, I do not believe my eyes. In one corner stood modestly ... slot machines. Coming closer, I saw that they were disabled. Employees police explained that the machines are waiting to recycling.

Federal Law "On the prohibition of gambling in the Russian Federation" came out in July 2009. How could now perform in Murmansk this law?

As reported in the department of economic security of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs of the city of Murmansk, before the formal introduction of the ban in the Murmansk region there are many slot machines and gaming clubs, their bright signs flashed almost every corner. After the release of the law the number of gaming clubs decreased significantly. But some dealers gambling is not afraid of punishment and continue to work illegally.

In the Murmansk region there are places where gambling clubs close, and after a while they reappear as toadstools after a rain. By the way, on average each week in Murmansk close one game club.

However, according to law enforcement officials, just come in and close the similar institution difficult. Typically, this is done during the test buy. In the department of economic security is reported that somewhere running game club. Police officer disguised as a player comes back and makes a purchase, to check whether it is a game, not a lottery club. To prove that the device allowing to win or lose money, is the gaming machine is not easy, it needs special equipment. Many of the applicants in vending machines do not understand, and therefore can even write a complaint on child machine that produces balloons.

If the fact of illegal gaming activities confirmed instituted administrative proceedings (Article 14.1.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences). Club owners are held accountable, and the case is referred to the court. And equipment confiscated, it shall be destroyed. In Murmansk "one-armed bandits" ruthlessly converted into a pile of useless metal with bulldozers.

Sick or bad?

On the question of why people want to play, different specialists different answers. How to find the employees of the department of economic security AMIA Russia's Murmansk region, many people have no culture of rest, that is, they do not know what to do in their spare time, and carry their money in the machines. But there are those for whom simple leisure turned into a disease.

March 1, amendments to the Civil Code, according to which gamers can be recognized partially capable and thus deprived of the right to manage your money. But to solve the question of limiting capacity will court the findings of physicians. In this case, there is a mandatory condition: human fascination game harms family. Suppose he loses all the money in the card, may lose the car and an apartment, leaving the family without a roof over his head. In such cases, over a person can be established guardianship.

In this case, the trustee will receive and disburse wages, pensions and other income of a citizen, the court in a limited capacity, in the interests of his family and friends. If people get rid of their addictions, he would be able to regain full capacity - also in court.

Murmansk psychotherapist Valery Larionov my question whether it considers gamers sick people, immediately replied "yes."

- In the medical center where I work, do seek help gamers rarely, mostly on the initiative and forced relatives, - explained the expert. - This usually happens when already spent huge sums from the family budget and conflicts become intractable. Customers themselves disease such behavior is not considered.

Often these people suffer not only gambling, but also depression, drug addiction and alcoholism. In the club they usually sit "stoned".


Dependence on something always disguises the weakness of man. It is a way to lighten the mood at the time due to the excitement and anticipation of a possible win. Although many people suffering from gambling, know that the clubs machines and computers are configured so that ultimately a profit remains the master, not the player.

Gambling can affect people of any age and social status. Valery Larionov met those who lost apartments and cars, who carried the clubs in the game last pitiful penny from the family, leaving nothing even to buy food.

In practice, the therapist was such a case. Ten years ago, it turned friends to help school teacher, 40-year-old son is not coming out of the gaming halls. The wife of a gamer is gone, and he lost his job.

The woman's son, who suffers from gambling, worked as an engineer in St. Petersburg until he became interested in gambling.

The therapist had one session with him, then the man went back to St. Petersburg. Eighteen months later they met by chance, the man said that when he returned to St. Petersburg, he stopped to visit the gambling halls, the family was able to return and got a job.

In practice, the therapist was another case where it forced relatives asked a young man from a very wealthy family, he lost in the automatic two expensive cars and a large sum of money. This man also suffered long-term depression and alcoholism. His father was in despair because he could not make him heir to his business. While doctors conduct sessions with the patient, he did not play. Then the young man stopped coming to the psychologist, and now his fate is not known.

As experts say, if you wish, you can get rid of any addiction, including from the game. It is important that the person he wanted that, alas, among the gamers is very rare.
