Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RECE3N - Musselburgh Racecourse is a horse racing venue located in the Millhill area of Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland, UK, close to the River Esk. It is the second biggest racecourse in Scotland (the first being Ayr) and is the fourteenth biggest in the UK. In 2016, Musselburgh staged 28 fixtures. It was officially known as Edinburgh Racecourse, and referred to as such in the English press, until the beginning of 1996 but was widely referred to as Musselburgh in Scotland long before that[5] and was widely referred to as Musselburgh in the racing pages of Scottish newspapers.
The course offers both flat racing and National Hunt meetings (though it only introduced jumping in 1987) and is 2 km long. In the middle of the course is a nine-hole golf course, Musselburgh Links, dating from at least 1672. The Royal Musselburgh Golf Club was founded there in 1774.
The racecourse itself sits on Musselburgh common good land. It is situated on the eastern side of the town, less than a mile from the A1 and two miles from the Edinburgh City Bypass. A road bridge over the Esk gives access to the course on race days only
the rest of the time, the gates are kept closed.
History
The first races in Musselburgh took place in 1777 under the auspices of the Royal Caledonian Hunt. Between 1789 and 1816, race meetings were held on the sands at Leith, although some races did still take place in the town. In 1816, they returned permanently to Musselburgh, to a course that had been laid out for them by the town council. The Hunt were so pleased with the new course that they distributed 50 guineas amongst the town's poor

Authors say outdated laws fail to protect vulnerable users from smartphone gambling
Smartphone gambling apps are more dangerous than fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) for people with addiction problems because opportunities to lose money are just a tap away , a study suggests.
Gambling games on smartphones have surged in popularity in recent years, allowing high-stakes betting within the palm of its users' hands, with video game-style play making them appear harmless and introductory offers providing incentives to sign up.
Scrutiny of the gambling industry has been focused on fixed-odds betting terminals in high street bookmakers, leading the government to cut the maximum stake on the machines from £100 to £2, although this has yet to be implemented.
However, smartphone gambling could be more problematic for people psychologically predisposed to addiction, given how the betting games can be accessed anywhere in the UK with an internet connection, according to academics.
The study, published in the academic journal European Addiction Research, found that because users check their phones frequently throughout the day “ referred to as ˜snacking' “ mobile gamblers tend to bet more often, even after suffering repeated losses.

A common design principle in mobile gaming, as this type of gambling is referred to, is that a mix of small wins, ˜near misses' and losses encourage greater levels of engagement.
Experts have previously warned that gambling companies use sophisticated techniques to ingrain their products in the lives of their users by creating psychological dependencies, nudging people into live gameplay through notifications, emails and other methods.
Notwithstanding the euphoria of winning, this can activate mechanisms in the brain akin to the effect of cocaine

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P4JY30 - rightly illuminated Admiral Casino and slots venue stands on Richmond Street in Liverpool city centre during a rainy evening. Its black frontage carries prominent red and white Casino and Admiral branding, with a yellow illuminated strip extending above large windows through which electronic gaming machines can be seen. Signs advertise opening around the clock, while pedestrians walk along the rain-soaked pavement beneath festive overhead lights. Reflections from the shopfronts and street lighting shimmer across the wet surface, creating a vivid urban nightlife scene.
The premises operates as an adult gaming centre offering electronic slot machines and other gambling products. Its highly visible street-level position, open doorway, illuminated displays and extended opening hours demonstrate how gambling opportunities can be embedded within everyday retail, leisure and pedestrian environments. People can encounter the venue while shopping, travelling through the city centre or visiting Liverpool's bars, restaurants and entertainment areas.
Admiral is part of the international NOVOMATIC gaming group, founded in Austria by Johann F. Graf in 1980. The group manufactures gaming technology and operates gaming venues through brands including Admiral. Its activities span physical gaming premises, electronic machines, online products, management systems, lotteries and sports betting across regulated international markets.
The photograph also has editorial relevance to gambling harms and the risks associated with frequent or compulsive gambling. Harm can extend beyond financial losses to affect mental health, employment, relationships and social wellbeing. Highly accessible machines, lengthy opening hours and the opportunity for continuous play may be particularly relevant to debates about addiction, consumer protection, licensing and the normalisation of gambling in British town and city centres.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R1MFDD - William Hill is a British gambling company founded in 1934. Its product offering includes sports betting, online casino, online poker, and online bingo. The business is split into two divisions, UK and International. UK operations are conducted from its headquarters in London, alongside satellite offices in Gibraltar and Leeds, while its International business operates from its hub in Malta. The company was previously listed on the London Stock Exchange until it was acquired by Caesars Entertainment in April 2021. In July 2022, William Hill was subsequently acquired by 888 Holdings for £2.2 billion.
William Hill employs approximately 12,000 people, 8,000 of them in the UK. The company operates 1,414 betting shops.
In addition to its online sportsbook operations, the company offers online casino games, skill games, online bingo and online poker. Since the Gambling Act 2005, gaming machines have strengthened profits to counteract falling revenues in other areas. In 2009, the company moved its online betting operations to Gibraltar to reduce its taxes by millions of pounds.
In August 2010, William Hill launched a training programme for its 10,000+ workforce to combat underage gambling in its retail outlets.
In 2019, William Hill became a founding member of the Betting and Gaming Council. In July 2019, William Hill announced it was closing 700 betting shops, saying this was because of the decision three months before to reduce the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals to £2. In August 2020, the company said it would close a further 119 shops that were not profitable during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, the company returned £24.5 million in furlough funds it had received from the government.
The company confirmed in 2018 that UK operations will continue to be managed from Gibraltar.
