This amendment, authored by Representative Paul Tonko, was added to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).<\/p>\n<p>Slot machines have been prohibited on U.S. military bases for over 70 years. The initial ban came in 1951, with the Army and Air Force removing slots from overseas bases in the 1970s. However, about 10 years later, slots were reintroduced on bases outside the U.S. to prevent service members from seeking trouble off base.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past seven years, the slot machine market on military bases has grown significantly. According to the Government Accountability Office, the U.S. military now operates over 3,000 slot machines in 12 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Tonko explained his reasons for the proposed ban in a statement to Military.com. He said, <em>\u201cI\u2019ve been leading the charge in Congress to address the rise in problem gambling and I\u2019m hopeful my NDAA provision would lessen the risk of our service members developing a gambling addiction. Our brave servicemen and women sacrifice everything to protect our nation and its freedoms. We must do all we can to support them by confronting problem gambling head on and ensuring this known addictive product is treated with the seriousness and precaution that we do with other addictions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>However, the Pentagon has noted that revenue from slot machines helps fund other recreational activities on military bases.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
