Two dodgy traders got their cummuppence this week when they admitted breaching gambling laws. Blackpool Trading Standards officers raided their hoopla stall and confiscated equipment.
Lancaster University tested the equipment which showed that the odds of winning were 2,622 to 1 against.
The pair received suspended prison sentences.
Its good to see positive action taking place to clean up Blackpool’s image. There really is a good buzz about the place at the moment.
The vast majority of stalls, of course, are a bit of fun but we always advice to keep your wits about you and don’t be spending more than you should or can afford. Apparently a doctor got stung with their scam to the tune of £1200
