Topic: What Do You Think Of Variety Wholesome Show Incorporating Casino Games? (Read 370 times)

I don't think advertisements or TV shows targetting children should promote gambling games in a favorable way. But children need to get educated, they should be aware of dangers in order to be able to avoid them or to protect themselves against them. That's why I don't think this kind of thing should be censored in the name of children. If they don't discover things of life through TV shows they will discover them by themselves in an uncontrolled manner.

Games like the deal and wheel of fortune are the very definition of gambling as there is very little skill involved and almost no strategy. It's pure chance and luck.
I agree. Many of them are actually inspired by gambling games. Aside from the game that OP said, and that's the first one that came to my mind, the Wheel of Fortune is one of their kind and it can be compared and the same type of slots or roulettes. Because they're all based on luck upon playing those games although as a game show, there is some catch with the WOF to make the game playable, fun, and easy for the audience that will participate from it. I guess most of the gameshow that we know of have been inspired or have got that theme that came from gambling, casino games.

Do you think it is good that a show that children can watch incorporates games you can only see in casinos, it might end up introducing gambling to their audiences.
I wont blame those that does so because they are making the incorporation for their own business in other for them to drive towards their targets, this could also in other perspective seen as chance of contributing to the way of being entertained with such incorporation, though others could termed it as something different, but we should focus more on the good side of doing this than the other way round.

It really depends on how the TV show displays gambling on the story being represented. I've always watched TV shows during my childhood which displayed situations where the characters gambled and gambling played an important role on the show's events. But it's important to notice the TV shows weren't about promoting gambling. They weren't gambling propagangas, rather they displayed gambling in realistic ways, where characters lost money, while others cheated, and others were pretty lucky.
To see the different outcomes gambling can have in someone's life helped me to see the true nature of gambling, instead of being manipulated into believing gambling is totally good or totally harmful. I didn't have any issues by being a child and watching such contents on those times, although I think if the TV show is just promoting gambling, it should be avoided by children, because they can be manipulated and develop a wrong approach towards it futurely.

Why I created this thread: There is a popular TV noontime show that incorporates casino games like card games Hi and Low in their show, this game excites my friend who ended up playing in a local online casino because of the attraction in the card game that was introduced in the noon time show.

Of course it would be better not being shown in television where kids would be able to access as well or get their interest with but that's just how marketing works for any industry. Whether the child would be engaging to such activities or not, depends on how he would be taught of such things also. This has been long happening but does not correlate that much with gambling interest to young people although it would somehow contribute. Contents are the ones that should be regulated; not encouraging or without any disclaimer of the risks involved in gambling.Do you think it is good that a show that children can watch incorporates games you can only see in casinos, it might end up introducing gambling to their audiences.

I think it's not good for children to watch TV shows that combine casino games because it can introduce children to gambling. Although there are no striking elements about casinos, betting will be seen and can introduce them to gambling. If I had children, of course I would divert them, either by inviting them to play or changing the show they are watching because prevention is certainly better.Do you think it is good that a show that children can watch incorporates games you can only see in casinos, it might end up introducing gambling to their audiences.
However, if there are no bets on the show, it might not be gambling, because when there are bets made, such as money, it can be called gambling. Or maybe when they watch the show, we need to accompany them, the purpose of which is under parental supervision. However, currently I often see TV shows that invite many people to play and they can choose if they are lucky enough to be chosen to be players and there is a chance to get prizes in the form of money, motorbikes, electronic devices and others, but whether those on the show enter by spending money or not, and I can't think whether it's gambling or not.

That's Eat Bulaga if I am not mistaken, right?
When I first saw it, I was also surprised that now they are using a game that came from a gambling game. But I would not worry too much about this because even the popular NBA is also using these games during timeouts or halftime. I bet most of us have seen it one or two times already where they play hi-lo to give the autographed photo of a player as a prize.
But because the Philippines is a religious country, yes, it might look bad and it might not be a great idea to input this kind of game in a noontime show which is supposed to be a family show too. Well, the days are changing, there's so much gambling in our country nowadays.

You said it is a game. Which means it is not gambling. No need to bring this topic if it is not about gambling because there are many games in casinos today that I can play with friends at home or at a friend home and enjoy without using the game to gamble.
You know most of these games is what actually gives you the edge to understand it more better while playing it even though it is not a gambling but at some point when you are used to read then you can place bet on those games in a casino.Even those games that people play in a casino are some kind of games they play physically and once they got used to it they can play it in the casino and also earn money from it that is to say they will place bets and start playing it, winning is very sure for them than those who are not playing those games when they saw it in the casino it will be very very strange for them to place on them and start playing it.

It's surprising to see they allow such show in noontime instead of midnight.
I still remember when I was young, all of adult programs e.g. cigarette, alcohol, sexual medicine etc are in midnight.
But, if the broadcasting stations didn't remove that show and there are not much people in your country force them to take down the show, it means people don't mind to see their children get into gambling?

Times change. Back in the early days of TV you wouldn't see thing like a girl kissing a girl, or hear someone cursing every other word, or much gambling besides maybe some cowboys in a saloon playing poker.

What I am trying to say is, life isn't the same for kids as it was when we grew up. Society and what is viewed as ok has changed. So instead of asking is it ok for children to see such stuff, you might ask are you educating your children as to the dangers of gambling. Are you teaching them that they don't and won't always win? It's not necessarily bad for kids to see gambling, they just need to understand what they're watching and know it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

I believe the objective of the show is to stimulate people with a hidden gambling habit to gamble and go back to their addiction, for those who are trying to sober up. This is hidden programming often present in advertisements and campaigns.
The important thing is to be able to identify this and control it.
Of course they will never publicly show gambling happening and for kids this is just a plain guessing game. It might not have that impact on kids but mainly on adults like I mentioned above.
I don't know, but if we look at every game show, then there is some kind of hidden objective there, it's competition already and you will have to win the price and bet others. So that's already a very definition of gambling. But I doubt that this is the agenda of the said aforementioned game show. Maybe it's for pure entertainment and it's really up to the parents if their kids are watching to explain everything and that is not gambling, but the shows wanted to gain ratings and so they are throwing big money in a game contest to attract viewership for them and to get a lot of sponsorship in their show. The important thing is to be able to identify this and control it.

HiLo is a universal game, you can play it without any bets and it will be just a card game between friends. When I was younger I used to play cards often. I like card games, many of them, and I think that kids nowadays should play more card games & have fun together rather than hanging on their smartphones all the time.
So not every card game, or any other game, has to be gambling and be viewed through the eyes of a gambler. I understand that every gambler sees an opportunity for a bet in everything, but that's another topic. In any case, sooner or later our children will encounter gambling and I guess we will be reasonable enough to explain nicely and introduce the child to the world of adults... it goes little by little, and we all went through it.

Well, if we are talking about programs on television, we can treat them as general entertainment. in fact, we have many types of Hi-Lo games if we had to review them, one of which uses a type of card playing device. This type of game can be played without having to involve money, like on your country's national TV show for example. In fact, there are many types of entertainment shows like the ones you mentioned in this thread, wherever the TV shows are.
So, I don't see this as exploiting gambling in general, especially children. Moreover, the concept is game entertainment on television, so most shows like this aim to entertain in general. in fact, we can play it without involving money as a bet. but because we like gambling, things like this are often associated with gambling. in fact, card entertainment is not just about gambling which involves money, as for the friend you brought to this thread, he actually likes gambling and ultimately applies it to online casinos.

In my country gambling is legal but there are heavy restrictions on advertising gambling related services even close to impossible via mainstream media so I am not sure or can relate to that gambling shown to everyone.
It maybe a good thing if they do with the intention of making awareness about gambling too or else it's nothing but too bad for the society, children should not be exposed to adult contents which is not only limited to gambling.

It's probably not a good idea to show television shows featuring casinos. If these games are made available to children, it could backfire. After all, children do not have developed critical thinking; much is incomprehensible and unknown to them. On the other hand, if we don’t talk about the casino. That is, there are other shows where money is used. I won't say the name of this reality show, but you can guess for yourself. A group of traders gathers there and buys abandoned garage boxes at an impromptu auction. At the same time, during the auction, traders outbid each other in a very interesting way...

Most of the games we see in casinos were not originally designed for gambling. Some games were designed for fun and entertainment. But it becomes gambling when you stake money on them with the hope of winning. Incorporating such games might lead children to gamble but the chances are low. What's your opinion on this?

Majority of children who had gambling problems were attracted not by fun but profit making. We cannot stop our children from viewing games that can entertain and even educate them. My opinion is that these games should continue to be showcased but the organizations should also come up with means to discourage them from practicing these games in casinos. Maybe they can come up with a slogan like " play these games for fun and not for money". This could help to reduce the effect of such game exposure on children.

Exactly so, and this topic is very carefully ignored. I am still surprised that betting advertisements are shown on the main federal channels in my country. They banned casinos, but betting was almost everywhere. Presenters seem to talk about it randomly in sports programs, many of which have unobtrusive but well-thought-out advertisements. And I can imagine how difficult it is for those who want to get rid of their gambling addiction. It must be incredibly difficult for them.

Am of the school of thought that believes that early exposure of our kids to such TV shows will give them a more intelligent life towards making money and spending it as well, because they know there is loss and gain in it, it makes these kids be more focused in a particular career and there won't be any new thing to see if they happen to come across such casino games when they grow up and have mingled with the world.Do you think it is good that a show that children can watch incorporates games you can only see in casinos, it might end up introducing gambling to their audiences.

The power gambling has in today's world comes from the fact that many people have painted it bad because they have no control or discipline over it, they have never really known the ills of over gambling, they have been exposed to it at a time when they encountered financial difficulties and see it as a holy grail, thus they indulge themselves anytime they have such opportunities and see it as a fast way out of poverty.
