Platinum British version - Slot Machine-less
 
They decided gambling is bad for kids so edited the slot machines in the Veilstone Game Corner to just have coins left behind. They're "Game Machines" and you cannot do anything with them except pick up coins left behind by previous machine users.

So, let me get this right... gambling = bad, theft by finding = good.

What's your thoughts on this?

It's a well known thing... And don't blame Nintendo for this, they had to do it, unless they wanted to run the risk of being sued.

Yep, this sounds like the rubbish the EU puts through nowadays - it's okay to steal but not to gamble. Pah! never had the urge with the previous games to gamble at all. Welcome to the "Nanny State".

If there's another thread (which is likely) can this one be locked and can I be pointed to the other?

There is actually another thread, and it's quite famous. It's here.

This has already been known for a while, plus there's already another thread where you can talk about this.
