in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).
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?
Were those what the signs meant? I wasn't sure since I couldn't read the entirety of it properly. I actually doubt they intended to send a gambling addiction reduction as a message though, it's more like satire in the sense of gambling and if they did, well, they failed successfully. It is kind of funny though seeing that god of Olympus-themed slots being shown like that.
Even if it was actually intended, I highly doubt it would've been helpful in the first place. Messages like these are easily forgotten since they're more enjoyable (or easy to ignore) at the moment, but easily forgotten once a few hours have passed unless a really memorable event happened, and these kinds of events that aim to reduce gambling addiction don't really give enough of that imo.
But we cant really deny the fact that it would really be possibly be able to create some curiosity on someones mind about on what it is.If they do see that zeus-like on a parade and seeing that text of God of Olympus or whatever slot games names that been displayed then it would really be creating such exposure which could possibly be able to mold up new gamblers out of that parade that they have done. We know that in any business which exposure and marketing does really plays a great role or really giving out some effect which it would be normal that they would be needing to spend up some funds for the sake of exposure.
I dont see any educational benefit or whatsoever on these type of parades but rather it is really just that casual stuff on spreading out awareness and trying to hook up new players to play those type of games.
Engagement would be entirely be depending on a certain individual whether on the time that he do sees this parade, whether they would be searching further on what it is afterwards or just simply
skip it and forget it right away.
