I also think that such parades do not help to reduce gambling addiction among the population, on the contrary, it can draw attention to gambling to those who are far from it. Very often an anti-advertisement is a good advertisement for a certain circle of people. At least I am sure that such a parade will definitely attract the attention of teenagers, and they are likely to misunderstand such an initiative.

I agree with your statement.

With parades like these, they actually bring more harm than good as it exposes and somehow advertises the usage of slots. Indirectly, they are also advertising gambling in the process by making an activity about it. When people become curious, they would search and look for it, thereby increasing the chances of people gambling in the process.

Parades such as this one should be prohibited as it confuses the general public. Moreover, the context of such parade is very unclear and could potentially be harmful.

Same as other members' answers, it's a NO.

Now kids found out what are gambling activities outside their reach. They may try to reach it now. This parade may be the reason to increase their curiosity and it's the parade's fault.
Why? A parade is not for negative effects, it's a booster, even though its purpose is to reduce the number of gamblers doing slots, the impact will not be negative but it could be the other way. They may have made a mistake here and they just helped the gambling places in your country.
A simple advisory/warning using a microphone or a megaphone could've been better. Adding characters will make people come out thinking it's a fun parade.

I'm not sure if the parade they did was for the promotion of gambling slot games or to reduce the number of gambling addicts or would-be addicts. The Olympus for me is obviously a promotional games in that slot.

And for my own opinion that I don't think it will help the people around them because it's still gambling as if they're giving the community there a chance to be curious about casino online gambling, that's what it means to me which is not good and I do not agree in my own opinion.

Exactly, it looks like a parade of introduction and mostly those who’ve seen this parade will get curious about it and some might started to try this one. I’m about to laugh on this parade, didn’t expect someone will actually do this. Again, this can’t help with regards to addiction in gambling, the authorities should start making their presence felt and warn those sites about encouraging younger people getting into gambling, maybe they can increase the age who are allowed to gamble, this can help.

I also thought it was for education but it's more on promotion because those who are not aware of these games will likely get curious and try their luck because the parade is showing how a slot is being played so they will try their luck, the parade should be strictly for costumes and traditional characters or heroes of their country, they should not involve or show gambling kinds of stuff.

Here in our country, our parade is more on religious figures, because we are predominantly catholic we have a lot of fiestas about our saints this is the kind of parade worth watching than promoting gambling stuff or anything related.

That parade is one creative way of warning its community on the effect of gambling but why is it that I think that it would have rather a reverse effect that instead of making audience see the negative effect of gambling, they will be enticed to play gambling because the slots game is greatly highlighted while the effect is overshadowed by the slot presentation. It would give a better result if the coordinator of the parade give readable hand-out on the negative effect of gambling.

I believe that kind of gambling awareness parade will not give a satisfactory impact on preventing people to gamble.

I'm not sure if I got the message correct. Did they mean that a gambler owns a great motorcycle for the first month and then later on after gambling for months he ended up with a rusty motorcycle?

It's amazing how a slot game Gates of Olympus had become very popular in that country which seems like a promotion indeed and may not really be effective when a particular game is presented to the public.

if you will look at it, it is more on promotional side rather than a warning for gamblers. also, for most spectators, it won't have an impact on what they wanted to convey about the nice motorcycle to rusty one. gamblers will be gamblers, they are not very worried about this change.
for me, it is also not on the educational side of things but this parade is more on the entertainment side. this won't make gamblers think about what they are doing.

I don't think so, owning to the fact that the world we live in today have completely changed, nowadays, people tend to embrace the more, the things tagged as bad by the government or other cooperate bodies..
I could remember when the government of my country banned banks from trading crypto, and also banned the citizens from carrying out crypto transactions, they even ordered banks to close any account that is suspected to be trading cryptocurrency.
When this ban was placed, this was when the citizens of my country embraced bitcoin and cryptocurrencies the more, with many new investors in crypto, bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general becoming so popular in my country.

What am I saying in essence? Movement like this will be more of counter-productive if the aim is solely built around reducing the number of gambling addicts, this is because as long as people gamble, some will always end up addicted, simply because, most times, addicts don't even know they are addicts, or how they even became addicts.

One thing with citizens is that a government that lacks legitimacy in the eyes of the citizens will always make a mockery of itself when it atteattemptsfridge the right of the citizens most especially when the government want to stop what is beneficial to the financial well being of the citizens were the government have failed to grant any opportunities that could possibly help the citizens to come out of the total dependant on the government and for this regulations can only work when the individual involved is made to see the need to regulate a certain thing and help support and protect the citizen's interest.

Just like the Nigeria CBN vs Cryptocurrency, why the policy failed os the CBN lack the legitimacy to place a ban on cryptocurrency without making any alternative available to the people, so the citizens have no choice but to continue with their activities using other means but will keep them out of the radar of the government.

reduce the addiction? Without reading your poist i would have thought that was just a sympathic advertisement parade for Gates of Olympus slots.
I have to say i almost bursted my coffee out laughing when i saw this dude.

So where in the world this was and how were people supposed to know that was for reducing gambling addiction? Seemed like they were celebrating it if something.

without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

According to TV programme that I watched some days ago. The presenter was advising parents to teach their female children to play video games as their male siblings do. So what I am trying to say here is that, education is very much important for gaming space. Yes as the op said such parade should be taught in all areas of the government so young pupils will be able to play the video. Serious awareness is needed in the area.

Of course not effective, to be honest, I'm curious what exactly is the purpose of the organizers of the parade, is it to educate about the dangers of gambling or even to tell/promote a bit about slots?

I'm sure in countries that are used to holding parades, they know whether the parade will be taken seriously or not by the audience, most of them only see it as an entertaining spectacle

As I watched the video, it seems to me that those people there are even trying to make fun and they are enjoying it.

No signs of any intention that they are trying to advocate reducing gambling addiction. I don't understand those words on slogans (or banners?) at the front of the motorcycle but I don't even think it can contribute to the idea of reducing gambling.

It is not effective nowadays when there are a lot of internet resources and other resources like TV,newspapers and radios who clearly make educational promos against gambling now and then.I think locally it may be somewhat effective but it can never be effective in reducing the number of gambling addicts which we all know from the slot machines is the biggest one because of such games being highly addictive thanks to sounds,themes and super beautiful graphics.

I see that in that picture is presented one of the most addictive slots out there played by thousand if not millions of people,Gates of Olympus and trust me by putting such game on parade to stop gambling those people there unintentionally they are doing the opposite,inviting people to such game,everyone will become curious to check that slot and we know the results then Grin

No, on the other hand, what it might have done is exposed gambling more in the streets, specially for non-gamblers. They don't need to go this far, parading on the country side and telling the ill effects on slot game.

So I don't like the way they supposedly "educate" the masses here, it's the wrong impression that they are sending to the people. If they really want to stop it then go to their governments. And for sure, it could back fire and there could be an increase of gamblers because of this slot education parade.

And I think this is one of the worst strategy.

No, a parade like this is unlikely to be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction.

A parade may be a creative way to raise awareness about the risks of gambling, but it is not a reliable or effective method to reduce gambling addiction. In fact, such a parade could potentially trigger some people and increase their desire to gamble, especially if they are motivated by the prospect of winning big prizes. I watched the video closely, but I must have missed the part where they discourage gambling. From what I saw, it seemed more like a glorified ad for slot machines than anything else. However, without knowing the specific intention or purpose of the parade, it is hard to make an accurate assessment.

I don't think a parade like this would be useful in lowering gambling addiction because it's unclear from the context which kind of gambling the procession is alluding to!!!presuming it's tied to motorcycles. The parade may bring attention to the negative effects of gambling, but it is unlikely to deal with the causes of addiction or offer individuals who are battling with it effective support.comprehensive strategies involving education!! prevention, treatment, and support are needed to effectively combat gambling addiction. The government, health experts, and other stakeholders should put these measures into place at the local and national levels. It's critical to concentrate on early detection and intervention, prevention, and the provision of affordable and efficient treatment choices for individuals who require them.

I don't think the point of this protest/parade is to push people away from gambling right there and then, but to marinate them with info and good propaganda which may well lead them to not gamble anymore. It's always like this when it comes to proving your point and pushing for your cause. You can't do it all at once, there has to be some sort of comprehensive plan that will lead people into a series of information campaigns, which then will lead to them making their choice. This is not the way to go, the protest and the parade thereof, but it is a good step towards the goal which is to discourage people from gambling. Of course, intervention and care from the government must be done, but this is still a good thing. I don't see it doing anything wrong AT ALL.

Regardless of what our opinion on the view point is, it is clear that the parade shows some form of promotions and aftermath results of the activities of stung slot players.

This parade also shows the level probability disadvantage of addicted slot players, and how their lives turn out to be in the long run, and also this may further promote gambling controls since there is already a show of what the aftermath effect of this will be on potential slot players and how it can ruin your life., it's important to note that this parade seems like a stage play with slot mentioned in it but gives a double-edged message as to what the parade promotes.
