Abstract: Paton D. and Vaughan Williams L. Do new gambling products displace old? Evidence from a postcode analysis. Regional Studies . This paper examines the extent to which new gambling products displace traditional products. In particular, it tests whether the introduction of fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs) affected the number of traditional gambling machines in Great Britain. It uses data from geographical districts based on postcodes within Great Britain between 2001 and 2006. Using a propensity score-matching approach, no significant evidence is found that FOBTs caused a reduction in the number of machines in venues other than licensed betting offices.
