Topic: The "Scatter" word getting more popular - page 4. (Read 747 times)

This world is already a crazy one and I don’t think this generation will even take this serious because in a country like mine where the prank industry is already doing very fine and everyone things everything is a scam and stunt or clouts chasing and night even be thinking the arrested gambler might be trying to gain fame from the arrest and will be released at ease.

I think the gambling industry is already very grown that it might be very difficult for the government to fight it at this very point especially now that they’re already paying taxes to the government and I think even underaged are already having very easy access to the casinos and we hope that we as potential parents or siblings with younger siblings should always know how to follow up with them as we already have this knowledge.

Before the advent of online gambling, we often encountered gambling activities in public places, such as markets, patrol posts and other places, which sometimes could be watched by underage children and then they imitated them. And with the presence of online gambling, gambling activities should become a private activity. Because by gambling online, using their cell phone, it is quite easy for someone to hide their gambling activities so that they are not seen by those who are underage. But it is very unfortunate that even with the presence of online gambling, gambling is still quite commonplace, which we can find anytime and anywhere. In fact, it is no longer surprising to me if I see a father and son enjoying themselves gambling.

When it comes to underage gambling, it's true that the solution lies in the hand of both parents and government for eliminating this menace. However, I still believe that with the right approach and strategy, kids involvement in gambling can be drastically minimize if government are truly willing and ready to face it with full force and a strict policy to ensure that which ever gambling sites found guilty are fine to pay a fee, while casinos are asked to only allow gamblers with only verified KYC to be eligible and grant access to gamble. As truly this will reduce the rate of under-age gambling. But the truth is that with the level of exposure now, it won't be that easy, as such goal is likely to take years.

In my country, gambling is currently an illegal activity, but this does not necessarily mean that people comply with the regulations regarding gambling laws. There are many who do traditional gambling in secret, but in our current era it is made easier by online gambling sites. Even then, all local sites operate illegally even though the government prohibits it. Apart from not being licensed, it is vulnerable to fraud which often occurs. Even online gambling for us is not something strange to play openly, even though it is watched by children who are not yet ready to know about gambling. This is quite worrying, because most ordinary people have a low level of thinking and respect tolerance. I mean, they are intolerant of young children who should not yet be exposed to or exposed to gambling.
like what happened to you, as if they don't care that even the children see and hear it. The difference is, gambling should be legalized in my country. Apart from preventing the proliferation of illegal sites, the government benefits from the taxes they receive. Apart from that, there are limitations that form a legal umbrella for the involvement of the government in this type of entertainment. One of them is that the government can make a policy that prohibits gamblers from playing openly in public, especially when young children see it. yeah, I mean with laws that limit it and protect children.

Talking about the growth of gambling, we cannot avoid it, especially when supported by advances in technology. Whether this is true or not, IMO, depends on whether gambling grows in a country. It's just that the question is, who doesn't know gambling?  because, in any culture, there seems to be a history of gambling from time to time. The point is, the role of central and regional governments needs to play a role.

They are talking about this game, Lol,



I even hit the highest that you can get combo 20/20 win.  

And then bonus round after that.


It's really hard to comment on this one as this is available in our local cash app but I think have to do KYC first before you can play online gambling using the said app. It's just normal that you will hear guys playing everywhere in the country with the volume up.

Many of you seem to be worried about children exposure to gambling, the fact that they may have easy access to these products, and governments not being able to do anything about it; and I share that worry too to some extent.

In my country, a new rule will impose the requirement to download a digital certificate to verify the age of majority in order to be a le to visit porn pages. To me, parental control is way better than creating a vector of vulnerability for the privacy of tens of thousands of people, but it seems that we haven't seen everything yet, so don't underestimate the ability to invent new innovations.

That is what has made slot games increasingly popular lately and the population of gamblers involved in them is also increasing, which is all caused by the gamblers who first entered and were involved in this type of game treating their gambling openly, or meaning they did not keep it a secret and confidently accessing it anywhere and anytime openly, one of which, as you mentioned OP, is by increasing the volume of the game which makes people there maybe wonder what is being played.

And clearly what is worrying is as you said OP, when in this situation there are children who are still underage who see the excitement of the reaction caused by that person and also hear loud noises which one day might become food for a day - the day when they started to get curious and looked for information from various sources about what was meant by the name "scatter". One thing that makes this type of slot game increasingly popular is because players play it openly and feel that it is not wrong to do so.

It's not only about regulation and how to control gambling, but it's also has a problem with few religions. There's a religion that completely ban gambling, so it's really impossible to see all countries to allow gambling, not to mention Bitcoin that less risky and profitable than gambling, but yet not all countries are accepting Bitcoin.

It's because not all parents are really parents, their parents want to get married when they're not good in financial, when they a baby, their monthly spending will increase. This force both parents need to work as relying on one source of income isn't enough, this is the main reason why parents can't supervise their kids properly.

Online casinos have involved a lot of underage into gambling because it is easy to gamble without no one noticing that you are underage since these children uses adults KYC for verification. Gambling is becoming very common in the society and no one cares if it will have a negative impact on kids anymore as they see it as a norm.

What baffles me are those people that gives money and send this younger ones to go and stake their bet for them in a betshop without thinking that it is wrong to introduce children to gamble. In my country, the government don't care much as long as they get their taxes from the casinos.

My country prohibits gambling but still the level of gambling there is very high including children who have recently started to be reported and become viral, because indeed the supervision of parents is not fully supervised they provide mobile to their children sometimes sometimes not properly supervised while gambling is easily accessible even now there are many advertisements on social media.

Back again to ourselves, as parents, we must be able to supervise properly, fearing that these children are getting addicted because of freedom without anyone's supervision.

I think being introduced indirectly with The word itself Doesn’t necessarily make it a problem, but the actual doing of younger generations would be the problem. As parents of a child that would encounter that I think it’s important to know that they should know what to do if encountered to something like this. Education is really important to let them know that it could cause some problems to them if they get addicted or something. It’s hard to control, but I hope that they understand why it is like that.

Personally, I just hear it from other people, but I don’t really have experience with that.

Very likely not, because if gambling can develop in a good direction, especially for gamblers, then it is very possible that all countries will allow gambling, but unfortunately, for a long time, the opinion that gambling has a bad impact is not a myth but a reality that often happens, It's just that many people ignore it because they believe there are still responsible gamblers and that's true, but the bad impacts can't be denied.

Well, I admit I have myself never heard about that game before. It must be a regional variation of slots which is becoming very popular on your country, it would explain how also it does not require much beyond having a payment processor account there and does not require KYC documents to be sent to the application/platform, since it is not a service which is being served globally then it has not caught the attention of regulators and law enforcement yet.
Also, I share your worry with you when I see it is becoming easier each year that passes for a child to actually start gambling, this is good example of it, and to be honest, it is quite common to see irresponsible people not to be careful on what their present clindren around them to, even less care if they are not their own children.

Because of the lack of KYC in that slot game you are talking about, it is very likely we are talking about a service which is not even properly registered in your country, it does not only open the door to gambling to children but also there are chances of the staff of this service to pull off a scam, getting deposits and run for the hills.

Almost every slot game of JILI uses the scatter word when a free game will happen. Then there's Fa Chai too. Many slot providers use this "Scatter" as a replacement for the "Bonus" game in other slot games. I don't really need to mention every game out there because there are loads of them.

Damn, that's alarming. I think I am lucky I have not heard a minor talk about "Scatter" yet. Most of them are adults but because it is in the trend then we got to be ready because most kids might bump into those and ask themselves what is it.

Yes, thank you for that. That's the Scatter. One of the reasons why this could also be appealing is because they can bet to as low as 1 peso per roll which means they can play almost every day nonstop and kids might even afford it now.
Then, the other problem is the no-KYC start. You install it, sign up with your email or phone number, and that's it.

That's most of the games that they play and yes, Gcash is the most popular wallet application that they will use to start betting. But they are not using the popular ones like BK8php to gamble because I had a peek at one of the mechanics and it's using a point system to gamble and win, not the cash itself.

Sorry, I cannot answer everyone.

I think there is no problem with them playing with high volume, they have the right to have fun playing and as they are playing with their money, so they are responsible for themselves when managing their money. it's up to them to play with the money they can afford to lose. I also highly doubt that the fact that they play at very high volume will influence children to play, this is because children, most of them have preferences when it comes to games and it is not games of chance that they like. They like video games on phones and computers and these are games with very different characteristics from gambling. Few children could be influenced by gambling, but due to the very limited money children have access to, they easily abandon gambling.

By this I mean that even if there was a child who heard or saw this guy nogando and that child decided to play too, that child would only play for a few days, he wouldn't have the money to keep playing for a long time, that's why in my opinion there is no It's a problem if a guy plays with loud music, he just has to look around to see if there isn't some way for a child to see what he's doing. also why would a child be in a place where there are only adults? There are hardly any children in these places and if there were, they would be with their father and would not have the space to know what game the adult is playing and how he puts money into the game.


with the introduction of kyc in casinos, parents can rest assured because nowadays almost all casinos ask for kyc so it is almost mission impossible for a child to play in a casino without being discovered and having their account blocked. Parents should always ask children to hand over their phones and parents should inspect their children's phones to see if they have installed any gambling apps or should inspect the browsers their children are using, this should be done frequently.

Gambling epidemics occur in every country at different times. In my country there was such an epidemic around the period from 2000 to 2010. In every locality there were a huge number of slot machines, their activities were not regulated in any way. This is now a thing of the past; slot machines have many restrictions on how they operate. In addition to slot machines, there are periods when other types of gambling activities are widespread. In my opinion, there is now a trend towards the spread of sports betting. And this should probably be welcomed, since a simple player there has the opportunity to be profitable in the long term, although it is very difficult. It is impossible to be long-term profitable in a casino, because a casino is only for entertainment, not for making money.

For those who often playing slot game will familiar with that word. But I don't know if kids hear about that because if adult people not mention that word in front of kids, they will not know and will not thinks about that.
If you don't wants your kids hear about that word or even curious what is that word, you can explain them about that or keep it a secret. If they asks about that word, you can explain what you know and don't makes them curious.
The gambling industry is develop fast and it is going on the right way, especially when Covid-19 attack us. That is the triggers for online gambling becomes bigger and will be bigger in the future because the internet connection supports that industry.

We've already had similar discussions in the past, gambling ads are all around us and unfortunately in many places where they shouldn't be. I don't think it can be done against that, I have two small children and I'm already thinking about how to approach this problem. It all boils down to the fact that we have to watch our children and when the right moment comes (I don't know what that moment is, it depends on many things, I hope I will be able to recognize it) to react in the right way. The "right way" depends on the child and his character... I'm sure that each child should be approached in a special way. That's it for us, we have to manage on our own and hope for the best.

Please give a clear explanation of which game you are mentioning. I tried Google with 'Scatter gambling' it just popped up a link to playstore app, is this what you all are talking about?

The game is rate for 18+ so only people with above such age can access and far as I read the game is not even fair, it's rigged and somehow not allows the player to go up their level unless they spend money on spins and obviously this is their revenue generation model and no one is giving you free money anyway.

Kids won't do that if they are educated, the problem is what if they haven't been educated. The gambling industry is indeed growing rapidly, in some countries it's running properly and in others it's not. An example is our own country (Indonesia), there are many kids who play slots, because all they need is a smartphone and a cash application (DANA - GoPay in our country), many of them become problem gamblers, sell everything, go into debt to be able to gamble in slots.

Then who's at fault? should we blame the gambling industry for moving too fast? or is the government too slow in educating its people? I think the blame should come from the government being late in keeping up with a fast growing industry.
