Lol! Good initiative by the people, but I feel that such parades do very little to help out of control gamblers fight their addictions. What truly matters the most is inner willpower in these cases.
The ones that posess strong willpower can overcome their gambling addiction while the ones with weak willpower will probably never overcome this issue.
On the other hand, this parade tries to show the public how dangerous gambling is, but for those who have never gambled, it actually provides an opportunity to find out more deeply and can have the opposite impact. The parade had good intentions but saw the dark side of exposing themselves to their own gambling in front of the public. Isn't it a little riskier? I know exactly what this parade is, but for some reason exposing it to the public will give rise to various speculations, both from the positive side and certainly not without the negative side. It could trigger people who are not familiar with gambling to stimulate their curiosity by starting to look for gambling.
