“*Following the publication of this piece PEGI has clarified that older games with simulated gambling elements will retain their age rating if re-released, provided that the game is not upgraded, modernised, re-interpreted or altered in any other way that would lead it to be interpreted as a new game.* *This means games that were historically rated as PEGI 12 will maintain that rating if it is put on the market again in the same form.”*
