But allowing children that freewill to always jump on the machines can lead to addiction and that could result into gambling or using their upkeep to play.
Yes Agree with you, those must be restricted for the kids
Kids enjoy different games, and in my region I've seen machines with different games, and we need to pay to the shop and receive chips that can be used to operate the machines. We can't be sure the same is happening all around, and it is the responsibility of the parents to have a cross-check before letting the kids enjoy playing it.
I think you are a little confused, the machines that you are talking are Arcades with video games, a single coin can give you many minutes of entertaining.
But the machines that I am talking on the OP message only has a NON-video game, that game is just for gambling, it last less than 20 seconds or 10 seconds, what kind of entertaining can give you that?
Maybe once in a while it doesn't matter, especially because of course children also need something like this because in other words they are still in the playing cycle in their lives. But for parents it is better to be able to limit their children's movements or activities.
Agree it's parent responsibility to take care about the activities of their children and educate them.
Sadly as I said before most of those machines are in low income neighborhoods and those parents aren't aware of the harm that those machines do in the long run.
I thing is time to close the topic
