This is the first time I see a machine like this, it doesn't exist in my country. In my place, there are mostly those machines where you insert money and try to take out a toy. Those machines are rigged and only sometimes someone manages to catch the toy. And it's kind of a gamble, but you can't keep the kids away from it...

I don't know how you can draw the attention of the authorities to something like this, you can go and complain to some organizations, but I doubt you will get far. The authorities allowed it in the first place, these machines certainly bring a lot of money and that money goes into someone's pocket.

Instead, you try to raise awareness among your children. I sometimes allow mine to play, and a limited number of times... Every time I give them money for it, I tell them that it's rigged and that maybe it's better to use that money for something else (I list the things they like) or I say they can save money so they have more for better things. Many times I said that it can't be done and tried to explain why it can't be done in a way that they could understand... there was also crying and throwing on the floor and then you have to show strictness. Once they get something that way, they will always do the same thing. With children it takes a lot of patience to repeat the same thing over and over again, we tell them the same story in multiple ways day after day hoping they learn something.
