In Finland gambling/slot machines/betting is monopoly from state and it is not allowed to be advertised. It is age controlled and all the money from the gambling go to charity/tax, and gambling addiction control.

I do like that system, even if it sometimes feels bit controlling people from theirself.

"controlling people from theirself" also prevents them from drunk driving and killing others.
