I am pretty sure that those machines aren't legal but there is much corruption in my country so I bet there is some big fishes making money on bribery allowing that those machines keep working on the corner stores.
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?
I am going to check the current legislation of my country on this, because even in Casinos there are some warnings about Gambling and Ludopathy
I am not want too much trouble by this because I believe that even the local mafias are involved on this, but in some book I read that the economy is going to be a mess when gambling are in every street of the country.
I don't usually go out alot, so, i can't really say or tell if such a thing exists in stores around my area, but then, what I did give you to hold on to, is that for the fews times I've tried getting some stuffs from our local stores over here in my country, I did not find any of such machines aside from VR game machines for both children and adults alike.
But anyways, if the operations of this slot machines are allowed due to corruption in the country, what do you think an ordinary or average citizens can do to take the machines off stores? If you ask me, I did say "nothing", the solution here is to take care of your children, ensure to never allow them play on that machine no matter what, for no matter what, our children are still our responsibility to take care of, and ensure they don't get themselves involved in what ever will harm their future.
