what draws attention is that they use the word educational, and that draws attention because mainly as long as the player knows more things it is much better, it is always like that, and if you can help people, players, well It is something that works correctly, so in this other order of ideas, the thread should be focused on how to make people with some addiction able to overcome it, but for all this I think there may be solutions, the most immediate solution for me is There are those players who play in demo mode, there is no other option, as long as they kill their desire playing is the option, the bad thing is that no one will take them, there is no excitement without associated money.
Educational nonsense is something that draws attention and it is a shame that what you say is true, just clickbait, because many who actually find it difficult to know about this topic do not understand what it is, the truth is I don't know if the OP invented it, who knows for what purpose or to achieve some type of objective, personally I sign up for everything that is educational and could help people who have addiction and who may suffer or begin to suffer from it, It all starts with bad decisions, with a bad streak, because whoever knows the reason, when they talked about educational slot machines, I thought it was something like a lot of information about the dangers of them, about how to gamble, advice so that you don't get things like that lose control again, something like help methods.
What we've seen through the OP about the parade, it's clear that what they basically needed was attention, and they've probably got that and there is nothing else they really cared about, in my opinion. If they were doing all that to actually spread awareness and educate people about the negatives of slots and gambling in general, they would do it in a better way and not like this where they are marching on the road with some banners and posters showing pictures of different slot games with a few lines of advice.
When a group wants to spread awareness about gambling and its addiction, they can conduct seminars and group gatherings where they can show multiple examples of people that ruined their lives due to gambling, they could show some very high bets or amounts lost by people in gambling so that those who are watching or listening should learn from that and stay away from it.
