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.
It was a parade to warn people about gambling. If you noticed the 4 motorcycle and the label on it. It shows how a person finances are drained by gambling. But sadly the presentation looks done in haste and that instead of preventing people to gamble, the parade probably made bystanders and audience to be more curious on the Gate of Olympus slot game.
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.
I also think the same. The parade put more emphasize on the slot game than the effect of it.
do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
It was difficult to understand what was going on, the message intended to be passed by the parade is not clear enough and the details can easily be misunderstood by the audience. This is not an effective parade that will have the effect of reducing gambling addiction.
Although the idea behind the parade is good, they have not done a good job in executing it. It now looks more entertaining than educative. An effective parade to reduce gambling addiction will be more focused on passing a clear message to gamblers about the dangers. It may not be fun, but it will be educative.
Yeah it looks like done with haste and probably with low budget. They could have enlarge the messages carried by the 4 motorcycle, or they could have create a banner emphasizing the negative effect of gambling. Either way, the message should be more noticeable than the presented slot game but sadly the Gate of Olympus took the spotlight.
