I agree that that would be useful to have, but I would prefer to leave
it out of the scope of this proposal. I think it is important to first
have the main type of venues right. After that we can always define
new tags for slot machines in pubs, etc. The proposal is already quite
big, so I think we should not increase the scope of the proposal for
now.

Hmm, difficult to get the difference right. How would you call a place
with video games and pinball machines? What if there are also claw
cranes?

Are there in fact countries where there are distinct places for
gambling machines and gaming machines?

Perhaps game arcade is also be a useful term?

For the Americans on the list: Dave and Buster's and Chucke E. Cheese
are mentioned on the wiki as examples of video arcades. What kind of
games do these places offer? I suppose no gambling?
