in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).
without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.
do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
The message I'm seeing in that video is your first month you have an ok bike, the second month (where casinos are trapping you with a few wins perhaps) you have a better bike and then it is all downhill from there. It's a bit of a weird way to advertise it, but maybe that is more a translation issue than anything else. It is definitely true, either through luck or manipulative engineering, casinos will often draw people in and it's the first few weeks that decides whether the player gets hooked or not. I[m not sure this video or activity is going to help many people, it's almost advertising gambling subversively in a way - people will often be pushed towards things that seem prohibited, but if it helps one person that's a bonus.
The longer you do play the worst situation that you could really be able to get or something that you would really be able to experience when it comes to degradation not only into those vehicles but also into those possessions that you do have on which it would really be something that would really be resulting into losing those things the longer you do make yourself having that involvement with gambling.
It is a good initiative that you should really be having the control or having the moderation when it comes on doing gambling on which it isnt really just that limited to slots but also in other games as well specially on casino games or luck based ones on which we know that this is something which is really that very hard for you to be a winner.
This is why it would really be that important that you should really be wary on the things that you've been doing. You wont really be messing up your entire life if you are really just that sensible towards your actions.
