I noticed that children do not tend to gamble in countries with decent laws. So if you have gambling available for children at every corner shop, then maybe it is time to reflect on your countries laws and those who make them.
Any habit/addiction-forming substance or activity will stunt the development of their young brains. Gambling should not be accessible to children, just like alcohol.
If there are no laws, then the store owner should, at the very least, be the responsible one and not let children play the machine.
This is why sometimes you could be able to say that governing bodies who do really govern out on a specific country should be taking out the blame and not really just that only into those parents.
If ever they will be seeing these machines on a local store in public then it is really just that right that they do impose up some laws and regulations because everyone does have an access to it.
Comes to think that everyone could see up that machine and not all the time that parents are beside with their children for them to be able to monitor it out.
This is why its really just that not right that blaming everything will really be that into the parents when it comes into this aspect.
Moderation and such laws will really be a helpful thing when it comes to fight possible addiction specially into those young people.
