Have you known that there is an age restriction in gambling? But it is varied among the countries in the world. I have just checked in wikipedia that commonly someone can play gambling starting from the age of 15/16/18/19/20/21 years. It depends on where he lives, every country may have different regulation related to the age restriction. Below I classify some countries based on the age restriction:
Age 5: Malawi (Casino)
Search about this one and surprised that it's true. It makes me realize that some games in arcades imitates gambling as well. it's all fun and games for the kids but we know it's where gambling starts. Haven't found the reasons about this '5 year old restriction" but if a 5 year old is gambling, they won't know it's gambling, they will be happy winning, they will be sad when losing. And they will want more.
Gambling requires a great deal of responsibility that's why most of the countries use 18-21 as their minimum age to gamble. I hope kids who gamble can still control themselves to stop when they grow up.
This sounds immediately quite strange to me,,, but there is probably something in there that we are not aware of. Five year old kids can maybe GO inside a casino but I doubt the employees would actually entertain a kid walking inside it right?
That has to be a very bad wikipedia entry:)
If they get entertained, they will treat the casino as an arcade store that all are just games and for fun only. But when there's money, the perspective of a kid will definitely change and even it's a kid, it will stimulate his brain and get addicted to it.
Employees will entertain him if he/she was accompanied by an old person. But I feel that 5 years old are allowed but definitely it still depends on the casino house and more likely 18 above is the preferredage.
