Most of the 21 instant games online are based on scratch card games. However, instant lotto and mini keno are played online and they are more addictive than the games which are based on scratch cards. Mr. Sloyan says that from time to time the regulator employs consultants or experts from around the world to help adjudicate on various things. Have they expressed any view on how some of those games are more addictive than others and that larger problems might be associated with them? It may be that more control is required in relation to something like mini keno and instant lotto.
