Retired people have been fined for playing cards with money

In Valencia a group of pensioners between 76 and 92 years old, playied between ten and twenty centims at bingo and cards to spend an entertaining evening. Now they have to pay a fine of 600.000 euros for betting money in an and authorized place.

I totally disagree about this news I don't understand how they can be fined for betting ten and twenty cents. I think that is unfair because the old people need entertainment because when they bet money they do it for entertainment. They also pay for the place, office and bar with the money and sometimes they give the money to charities like the 2700 euros that they have given for the earthquake of Haití.

In my opinion, I believe that the fine is too big as it is 600.000. I think that they didn't do anything wrong because only bet a ten and twenty cents and they only did it for entertanment.
