Topic: The "Scatter" word getting more popular - page 2. (Read 720 times)

But its different story if what they broadcast is pure misleading and they always flaunt about its easy to get rich by playing on the casino they are promoting. It will create a confusion to those young people that they just need to deposit then they can able to earn a lot of money from playing casino games. Kids nowadays have an easy access on social media and usually those game streamers are the one who promote gambling to their audiences so for sure that they could able to see that to.

Then that's how the problem starts with those young people especially if they get addicted since we know what will happen if they came into that point.

Well, that's how these online casinos have been taking advantage our country and they're not even here in the forum because their main target is our countrymen. Influencers that they're using and paying them to advertise them using a demo account making people believe that they're really winning big money. So sad that there are many gullible countrymen of us that have been victimized by those fake gambling and demo accounts that are used to attract more deposits.

Yes, but when something we promote has the possibility of a very significant negative impact, especially when done in the wrong way, then of course in my opinion those influencers or people who promote gambling sites can become suspects or be blamed, remember they are doing it for the benefit of They themselves get money from the casino as payment for the work they do, while they don't care about what the viewers who watch the show will most likely experience, especially when the viewers mistreat the gambling activity.

On the other hand, you say that influencers have no intention of promoting the site to underage children, but I think when we talk about the world of the internet or digital media which has now become one of the needs of most people, they should be able to take advantage of it. conclusion that children who are still underage have the potential to know and see the promotions they carry out, meaning that I am sure that those influencers or streamers do not care about what the audience will experience when they are interested in gambling, including children who still underage. And also, yes, regarding the issue of children who are underage, it is the responsibility of the parents who have to look after them and limit them in any activity that has the potential to lead a child to something bad, but I also hope that the streamers or influencers can give a little education before they make promotional broadcasts, such as telling all viewers that gambling provides opportunities to win but can also have very bad impacts such as losing any amount of their money.

          -   Well, here in our country, the scatter that you are talking about has become quite rampant, and since 2 years ago, the scattering of gamblings on various social media platforms through various influencers promoting it.

As you said, even though children are still watching it, I don't think that our government will stop it, because it is our government that seems to have allowed it to happen because of the promotion of well-known influencers and even a well-known celebrity in the field of boxing and a former senator of our country. It's a bit sad because the sad thing is that the children will see it, so the only thing parents can really do is remind them because they won't be able to monitor their children using mobile devices in all cases.

Those who carry out their duties to broadcast this actually should not be blamed because they also have no intention of promoting it to children so what must be paid attention to is our children who have not yet had to watch this. So the child's parents must have a role in ensuring that their child does not have the wrong shows at a fairly early age, because nowadays every new thing that has high marketing value will have promotions such as live broadcasts and the like through any media.

Well, gambling didn't start today, and despite the fact the fact that it has been banned in some countries, there are still some people in those countries who are gambling secretly and promoting illegal gambling. In those countries where gambling is free, some kids could easily get involved in gambling because they are usually exposed to activities like that, but it's the duty of their parents to always guide them toward what is appropriate for them to do at their age and what's not.

I just want to share how big the gambling industry is already in the Philippines.  You can see on the ranking, PH is already at the number 1 rank.



So, this is a sign that the government has to do strict regulation about gambling as this is not a good indication and it might hurt out economy especially if most of the gamblers are the citizens of the country.

I can say with confidence that it is not going the right way, at least not here in our country. It has gone the opposite direction. It has completely gone awry. Scatter has made people, young and old, addicted to gambling. Days ago, a robber was caught, and when interviewed why he committed the crime, his answer was that he's addicted to gambling. When asked what he played, he said Scatter.

A friend of mine pestered me to lend him money. He has a job. The reason for borrowing money is to be able to play Scatter. Even young minors in my community have been spending so much on Scatter and other gambling games.

This situation on the ground has probably escaped the attention of our inutile government. It urgently needs attention and yet there isn't any step to curb this.

On the Betano website, the Divine Fortune slot game has a clenched fist holding a lightning bolt as its Scatter mechanic. The reward for this Scatter is a free spins bonus, and the more Scatters you land, the more spins you win.
If I'm not mistaken it is:

• Three symbols, five free spins;
• Four symbols, eight free spins;
• Five symbols, 12 free spins.

There are also Gold Coins being the symbol of luck, when you get three of them, you can start the special jackpot bonus feature... the one with reels on the screen.

Perhaps this term is just not very popular in some countries, but the resource has existed for a long time

As no one can stop the technological developments, a parent can only guide his kids and be open with them what they should do when they encounter this kind of influence from their peers. We can't look out for them 24/7 and with various social media platforms these days, they will always see and read things that you don't want them to see. Instill the basic principles in life to live with, and they would remember them if they need them. Let them learn the lessons of life on their own.

On the note of hearing the word "scatter," I think these kids are referring to scatter slots, in which, this game is getting popular. I know there is a traditional game - scatter, which is made of hardwood pins and baton. But definitely, this scatter game that the OP is hearing is surely the scatter slots game. As people of all ages these days own at least one smartphone, installing a game is now quite easy.  

That's the sad reality after online casino became popular. As we know, many minors are already exposed in social media, and influencers are promoting casinos in their every videos because they're paid to do so. Too bad there are kids who look up to them and might believe what they're saying since they are encouraging their followers to try the game without disclaimer. This is the reason why I limit my kids when using their gadgets, and as much as possible I monitor the videos they watch. Because it's quite easy now to gamble online since creating an account can be done within just a few minutes.

I take it that you're in the Philippines or something along those lines, cause I only ever encountered this term being tied with the gambling industry within the country, and remotely only because there's this one game that got too popular amongst facebook streamers called Scatter which is essentially a slot machine game with other mechanics tied to the "scattering" of certain logos and icons on the machine/game itself.

This is why a lot of legislators in the Philippines are pushing for the banning of online casino advertisements, some even push for the outright banning of online casinos cause they are not regulated by PAGCOR (Philippines Gambling Committee) and they are so well known and spread out across Facebook that people of all ages become subjected to them, kids included.

Now what I would highly suggest you do is perhaps install some adblocker on your kids' device as I find that most effective, soon as I downloaded Ublock origin on my PC it automatically kicked all the gambling ads away, might not work on mobile devices though, but I'm pretty sure there are some good alternatives.

The internet is for adults and it is our sole duty to make it safer for our kids, while it is definitely pesky having to deal with these motherdfucks it's still way better if we take matters into our own hands instead.

That's the sad reality. They are only after what they can make, which is why they don't mind if they attract minors to play these kinds of games. It's gambling, so it requires money to play, and they entice us by showing how much they make in their live streaming.

This makes it easier for young people to get tempted. The easiest part is that it doesn't require a lot of money to start; as long as you have a GCash account, you can start with as little as $1. It starts small, but with addiction, it grows and can slowly destroy the lives of minors because of their ignorance.

Been worried about children exposed to gambling is actually a great concern because if they will still have to use money to do that, then definitely they have to work very fast to see what they can do to stop them because if we are not available to stop and avoid children being exposed to gambling, it will be very hard for us to do that in the future.
 
I know that even in our younger years, we also play games that are similar to gambling. I can define that as gambling, but the only difference is that if money is not involved, you must either buy biscuits or candy in order to be part of the game. But with consideration, you will find out that with all this, we are not still exposed to gambling, so we can use the same strategy on those children that are trying to be exposed to gambling so that we are going to modify it for them in order for them not to use money any more in gambling. I think that will heal them and go a long way.

It's inevitable that certain words will become hyped up, as new generations are looking to distinguish themselves and make their unique mark on the world. Casinos and sportbooks are well aware of this, always trying to stay at the cutting edge in order to become more in the loop. If it's a buzzword of the moment, then it will usually be targeting the younger generation who are more vulnerable to gambling advertisements and susceptible to playing more money on the games. It is cool to have lots of money and even if you don't have lots of money, the "fake it until you make it" mentality has persisted for many generations now. That is why people do not try to hide things like gambling, it's a way of showing off to their peers.

Our government can't stop the spread of the scatter games in our country. Thanks to the social media promoters and influencers that have been livestreaming these games and they don't mind even if there are a lot of minors and kids that are watching their livestreams. They knew it that they've got a younger audience but despite that, they're not stopping it because they're all commissioned and paid to do it.

The word "scatter" is a term for a particular symbol that determines a win/ a chance of getting a free spin on slot games... It's a new feature that's made to encourage and increase the chances of winning for slot gamers.
if they can be so daft to allow the younger ones to wager on their watch, anything else that happens as a result of that is solely their fault.
Almost nothing is kept a secret in our society today. "Choose the pathway for yourself and your children" -- I've been receiving  little pieces of papers from underage, from above my counter during the days I worked in a casino house.. what they often told me was "daddy wants this games to be booked before 9pm" That's it.

Now it is very difficult to prevent because indeed now only the role of parents can limit each child so that they can know what they should do and what not and indeed this is not easy because after all they are now the last protector of children so as not to be exposed to gambling problems that are getting bigger in terms of enthusiasts today. It's just that there are not a few parents who are actually indifferent in paying attention to their children which makes the condition worse than it is. In my country there are currently more than 400 thousand children doing gambling and 80 thousand children under 10 years old, this is already included in the alarming category so there needs to be tactical steps from all circles to limit gambling.

Actually I have no problem with gambling if it is done by adults or those who already have an income but for children I think this is a condition that is difficult to accept.

Roblox is literally a casino for kids. In most games there, there are loot boxes in the form of chests or eggs, and as far as I know the randomness there is very harsh. There is no so-called guarantor (which most gachas have) and you can spend a lot of Robux (actually real money) on a bad day and get nothing. I mean that, for example, if the chance of an item dropping is 1 percent, you can make 500 attempts and not get it.

What cash application are you talking about? Do you mean CashApp? The kids having money apps without conducting KYC? I don't believe this. Most kids don't have money to gamble, unless their parents give them, but I don't believe that those kids would waste the money on online casinos(they can't conduct KYC, because they are under 18 years old). Maybe some of them might use non-KYC casinos, but that would be a really small number of children.
I hear gambling terms all the time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the people, who use gambling terms are hardcore gamblers.
Nobody in my social circle had ever used the terms "scatter" or "scatter symbol". Maybe this term is more widely used in the Anglo-Saxon countries.
