Of Spain’s many exceptional towns and cities, Madrid is the most tragically ordinary.
In any other country, Madrid would be a must-see city. But in Spain, it’s just a meh one.

V OC Máj v centru Prahy najdete „zábavní prostor“ LEVELS. Pod rouškou arkád, šipek a minigolfu se tu skrývá tvrdý hazard – výherní automaty s válci. Designované pro děti. 
Tyto tzv. technické hry jsou jednou z nejrizikovějších forem hazardu:
