This is very popular in our country and it gets more popular because of vloggers who keep promoting this game. I think the government needs to urgently pass a bill prohibiting influencers from advertising casinos because they have a huge number of followers they can influence to gamble, including kids. The problem is they only talk about the wins, hyping their viewers to try gambling without discussing the risks. This attracts people to gamble without understanding the potential downsides. There's a reason why gambling is only for mature individuals as minors are emotionally vulnerable, and gambling could ruin their lives.

This is one of the rare times where the gambling industry is not at fault.It is not their responsibility if these people play with loud music or not,it is the responsibility of those people.I used to play slots in my desktop computer and some time my daughter would look at the slot Rabbit Garden and tell me look a colorful rabbit.Since that time I don't play anymore in her presence and always use headphones.Sometimes when she get near me now and maybe I have opened up a website related to gambling I immediately minimize it.These are steps everyone should take to conserve different kids from being exposed to gambling.

Now, thinking all about it, I am kind of worried. What if kids do this too? They said all I needed was the cash application and kids can have that now.
The other thing that I am worried about is they don't even keep it a secret anymore. They play on their smartphones and they let the volume up like they don't care if kids will hear it.
The growth of the gambling industry is definitely fast but is it going the right way?
When bitcoin was of low value when it was created, you can use it to gamble on many gambling sites that does not require KYC. If some kids of nowadays tell you some secrets, you will find out that they have many ways they can be gambling. That is the life we are even before what you are now thinking of. Ones it it getting known, KYC will begin. That is how I see gambling industry.

But it would be good if you use the app or site and be certain that it is true that KYC is not involved. It is possible that those mechanics did not fully tell you everything that you need to know about it.

In my environment mostly the kids already know about this because i have seen plenty the adults talking about gambling online which in this case is playing slots in the front of their childrens and a bit worried indeed those people seems doesn't care if talking about gambling then it will have a negative effect on children but we cannot hide it from the children because the development of online gambling is very rapid and it cannot be stopped because i am sure people have seen those gambling sites did promotion through an social media from Facebook, twitter or even youtube for each days which automatically the kids will see it

Accept it or not but this is the fact that gambling online is became an one of the biggest industry in the world because there are huge money to involved in there and it can be access and played everytime and everywhere but we still can protect our kids by always keep an eye on our kids and limiting they time with their gadget and the most important is to give their education about disadvantages from gambling

There is no way those things affect the kids. If that bothers you so much then think about the everyday advertisement from gambling platforms. Using online content creators and affiliate marketers to market their platform. In todays world, almost every mobile app have an adds and the gambling industry are still there. There was a day i downloaded a kids app for my niece, after registration and sign up, there was lots of Ads that shows up and two of them were gambling Ads. So you can see that they industry are everywhere you cant keep children away from it anymore in the society.

The only way to help the children out is by orientation. By speaking to them about the habits that comes in gambling and the dangers or consequences if we chose the wrong habits.

In fact, you will find lots of gamblers playing online slots in countries that prohibit gambling and this is the development of online technology that no one can stop.
In my city, we are used to many young people or underage children playing slots and they are not worried about the many risks of gambling and in fact recently there have been many cases of young people committing suicide because they have a lot of debt and are frustrated.

Whether it's true or not, I can't say anything about this because we all will not be able to avoid technological developments that are increasingly developing, even something as sensitive as gambling will become more easily accessible to everyone, even non-gamblers.

It cannot be stopped unless it's banned. And kids playing these kinds of gambling games are a result of irresponsible parenting, so we cannot blame the gambling industry for this. As parents or guardians, we have to be aware of our responsibility, as there is a right age for gambling. We should not let them see what we are doing, and kids also wouldn't be able to gamble if they don't have the money. So let's not give them the means to gamble.

I've noticed it too, and it seems like it's popping up everywhere lately. Just like you, I've come across it multiple times in social media that makes it as their content, couple of friends that engage on gambling and some other strangers on the street.

It’s definitely concerning how accessible these games are becoming, especially for kids. With mobile apps making it so easy, it's crucial for us to be mindful of how these trends are spreading and the potential impact on younger generations. It's a bit unsettling that people aren't even trying to be discreet anymore, playing with the volume up for anyone nearby to hear.

gambling has become very normalized and i say rightfully so for adults of course we can only do so much to ensure the safety of kids even if we keep it a “secret” in which is not exactly the best kids can still encounter it from the internet it would be best to screen the players of an online casino carefully to avoid such situations

New word I guess, I haven't heard about it before when it relates to gambling. On doing some little research I just found that it's even more popular on the online casinos now, wonder how I have heard of it here on the forum before. If it really is that interesting as they say it, I think a lot of young ones might want to hop on the wave and also try to make benefits. Gambling can be controlled to some extent but not totally. The young generations have become to exposed to the Internet that nothing can be hidden anymore from them. Most especially those that grew up with seniors who Usually gamble.
The way I understand it, similar to what players got the bonus round, those 3 symbols that fall when you pull the lever and you got it at the right time and get the bonus (correct me if I'm wrong here), hence, the 'scatter' term. But I'm also concern that this is online, then maybe there are underage that might be playing here, so again this is one of the dangers and it's very difficult to control everything. So for those who are familiar with this term, maybe it's time for you to also monitor your kids not to play so they will not get addicted to it and their lives ruined by this so called "scatter".

This is the first time to here the word in this context "Scatter". Probably folks in my region haven't caught the fever yet.

I understand you worry and how easy it is for anyone including underaged kids to have access to these games particularly those with access to smart phones and little or no parental supervision. I don't mean to sound pessimistic but I don't see this stopping any time soon. It will be difficult for regulations to work here. What has to happen is that we all have to fall back to responsible parenting and intentional parenting. We have to know what our kids do with on the phone when they are with their phones. It is not an intrusion on privacy because they still live under our roof.  And also speak up about it in our local community basically creating awareness. These would go a long for the kids to understand the inherent dangers in getting hooked to these "innocent-fun-looking-games".
I am not also conversant with this game, or maybe it is called a different name in my location. These days, it will be difficult to control the exposure of children to gambling. Gambling promotional materials are almost everywhere, social media, television, billboards, radio, just name it. These days, I don't allow children to look at my phone when I am surfing the net because these ads can pop up at any time. It is now the responsibility of parents, teachers, and religious and traditional leaders to use their authority and influence to create awareness about the dangers of underage gambling. Parents shouldn't introduce children to gambling because of carelessness, and what the children are exposed to should be highly regulated. Grown-up children who are up to the gambling age should be taught how to gamble responsibly because they will be definitely exposed to gambling.

In two days I have heard or seen the "Scatter" word a lot of times. Twice on Facebook, one from the status of a friend, and the other a meme.
Today, I went to the e-bicycle shop for it to be fixed and the mechanic there is also talking about the "Scatter". The first time I heard it, I was curious what it was but because I am also playing slots, I had the idea.
Then, I was invited by those mechanics to join a group where they play the slots game and they said registration is free because they think I knew something about it. I didn't join them.

Now, thinking all about it, I am kind of worried. What if kids do this too? They said all I needed was the cash application and kids can have that now.

It's more popular in our country mate, as everyone is playing that Jili games, Lol, Mega-Ace, Super-Ace and that one game I forget the name. Same here, I been playing that kind of game and I will say that I'm in the borderline addiction right now as I have my days that I will win big money and the next day, I will some or even everything that I won. And that is the problem with the proliferation of gambling in the Philippines, and the country is also known to be one of the biggest numbers of smart phones.

With that almost everyone, is now playing this "Scatter" games in the country and even in the streets you will hear this word from everyone. So don't be surprised that even minor is playing that games with their Gcash and Paymaya wallets.

What concerns me most is how the children in my neighborhood also easily talk about "Scatter" and how they use their pocket money to deposit at the minimarket and then play. Most of them know about gambling because they were taught by seniors at school or at their playground, and then they think that it is the fastest way to earn money and you look cool when you gamble like an adult. Even when the government in my country is currently intensively eradicating the gambling mafia, this doesn't have a significant impact, because people already know the word "Scatter" and can immediately search for it on Google and they will find lots of gambling providers like that.

Unfortunately, the government will not able to stop it.

Gambling activity would be something like new normal, no one gonna stop it. Similar to underage labor, illegal worker etc because the number is too high, if the cops need to catch all of them, the jail wouldn't be enough and it would harm their economy.

What they can do is catching the popular gamblers and warn the citizen, they hope it can reduce the number of gamblers.
