do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?
I just watch your video and have an opinion if that video doesn't affect reducing gambling addiction because when I look at them is not so serious playing role. They still are smile and happy while bringing misery. But I salute, that video is enough attractive and impressive to tell the younger generation that gambling is not good for them. In this situation, that video indirectly shows us that gambling would be very damaging if you can not manage the money properly.

That's what I think as well. The parade didn't look that effective, or at least the one from the video, because you can't quickly understand what they wanted to point out. And it only made sense with OP's initial explanation on the motorcycles. I admire their effort to make a parade against gambling addiction, but it should've gone through more planning, or they could've shifted to a different method so their effort won't go to waste just like that. It might've even backfired because they used the actual slot name in the last part of the video.
Same as other members' answers, it's a NO.
I'd like my vote to be counted its a no also OP should change the title, it's not educational it's more promotional they even have the name of the slot, the parade should be about heroes, religious figures, or even the city's or the place's best spot but never about gambling, when you are educating people on the harmful effect of gambling it should be in a way where people can listen intently and fully understand it, a parade cannot give a good result.
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. 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.
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.

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.
Definitely no. Since you mentioned that it might probably in your country, are those people on the parade really serious on their mission?

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

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.
