My questions here are the next:

  • Are this problem also exist in your country?
  • What recommendations you can give to try to Raise the attention of the authorities?


Yes, that kind of machine also exists in my country, I just found it in my small village. This is quite ironic because the government always promotes to do not play online gambling on in all major cities, but other small villages have that kind of machine without being able to monitor it. It's not only adults, but also minors who play it without know if that machine is belong with gambling. That is called "Ding Dong", we can play with small change, coin Rp.1000 or Rp500,- on my country, so if you luck, you will get 10x when money comes out of the machine.
Ding dong is very popular on 90's and i think majority people at here have already to playing this machine but i don't think it can be categorized as gambling machines because basically ding dong is the machines to playing the particular games such as arcade game or puzzle game and indeed when we want to used ding dong then usually people have to insert the coin into the machines to starting the games but i personally didn't considers this machines can be categorized as gambling machines but i was start to thinking about claw machine game because probably playing this game can be considers as gambling too this because when playing this game people aiming the particular prizes
