Toate primăriile din județul Iași au decis interzicerea păcănelelor / ”Unii operatori ne afișează în locație că ne vedem online, dar măcar nu vor mai vedea copiii, în drumul lor spre școală”

All localities in Iași County have banned slot machines, known as 'păcănele', following a civic initiative. The first to implement this was Miroslava, soon followed by Iași. The decision prohibits new authorizations for these gaming machines, aiming to protect children from exposure to gambling. The last locality to adopt this ban was Pașcani, which initially struggled to gather enough votes. Currently, only 773 slot machines remain operational in the county, down from 1,060 earlier this year.
