Topic: What Do You Think Of Variety Wholesome Show Incorporating Casino Games? - page 2. (Read 384 times)

It’s just a regular game if there’s no money involved though but I will be bothered knowing that it’s game use for gambling while my children watch it but not to the point that I’m against it.


TV show usually has a rate to guide viewers for minors. If they marked it properly and there’s no gambling involved then I will be fine.

There are many countries in which advertising of the game is prohibited, or is only allowed at night, when children are sleeping. I basically agree with that.

I feel there should be regulations on some TV shows that everybody watches, not everything is supposed to be proper for advertisement on these shows because of underage that may be introduced to some habits.


This is also a reason why it is necessary to be aware of the TV shows and programs that your children watch, it is not possible to guide your children against exposure to what gambling is because if they are not introduced to it on TV, their friends will introduced it to them. But it is possible to educate them properly that they do not become addicts even though they become exposed to it. Hiding the truth about something from children does not always help them.

I believe that anythings that are not connected to the casino is not gonna to attract people to play casinos with those type game.

Like the show you are mentioning, while they are showing (HI-LO) card games. Did they show the audience for gambling? off course not right, it's just related into the show (entertainment) people who are watching 98% just think as usual it's game show (not even think related into casino or gambling).

Unless the person who watch those it's like you (casino player) you will think instantly those game is casino games, because you have history playing or watch those in casino meanwhile other people it's not.

If you think about it, many games that originated from tv were purely luck based and involved money. It's very close to gambling. 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.

So I'd say what you're worrying about in the original post is already a reality. TV didn't wait for casinos to become popular to steal their games. They just started projecting gambling as family friendly games to everyone anyway. Now casinos are actually copying TV games like wheel of fortune and the deal because naturally fans of this games are liking to gamble with money also and it's a good combination to deliver mass gambling too... So it's already a reality. Even monopoly which is a child friendly game has many licensed slots etc.

I think that when a TV has a program that shows a game that can be played in a casino, the TV program puts up a warning saying that the game is prohibited for minors, so the TV program cannot be held responsible in case a child is going to play that game in a casino. TV shows also have age restrictions, but when we research how many families actually comply with these age restriction rules on TV shows, we will probably see that it is a very low number. If we look at the world today, children under 10 years old watch TV programs dedicated to children over 13 years old and for children over 16 years old.

Also nowadays, children under 10 years of age already have cell phones that they use to watch anime that are made for children over 16 years of age, they also play video games that are intended for children over 16 years of age. By this I mean that our society is no longer very strict when it comes to age restrictions, parents have become very liberal or very careless. So when TV programs warn about age restrictions, they are already part of it, and parents must also do their part by constantly checking what their children are doing on the internet, on the phone and on the computer

A game becomes a gamble when money is involved and a winner and looser emerges. If people enjoy games that are played in the casino at home or in any events where money is not involved then it can not be classified as gambling. People play card games and others plays different types of games on their mobile phones for fun, even the kids are not left out in the games, that is not gambling. Most kids wouldn't know that they can play these games to win or lose money, unless they're told about gambling

But I get the OP's point, some adults who knows about gambling can be enticed to go visit a casino, after watching the variety show. Fact is that people are reminded by what they see, that is the essence of advertisement, so seeing some casino games on a none gambling show can ignite the feelings to gamble.

I've seen shows like that when I was young and I thought of it as a simple game. But as I grow up, I have come to understand that it has been derived from an actual game as you've said, the hi-lo game. I think the concept has changed based on the setup and theme of the TV show and that's why it doesn't look like as if it's a gamble game. There's no stake for the player and they only need to guess the number whether it is high or low.

But the actual game does requires us to gamble and that's make it gambling. IMHO, we can distinguish it as a giveaway because there's the game and there's nothing for the participant to stake any money but only the game and the participation that they need to allocate to the game/TV show. Other than that, we have our own judgement whether we'd see that as a gambling game that's being telecast on national TV.

Because if the TV agency and the government department that monitor it sees something wrong with it, they won't approve that show to be broadcasted.

I don't know the show you're talking about, but if that show also explains that gambling is related to the game, I think it's very possible that the audience watching the show can feel attracted to gambling just to practice what has been discussed in the show. But if the show doesn't relate to gambling but rather only games, there's no way it can attract the audience to gamble because many people can just easily play the game to have fun, without the aim of using it for gambling.

That will not be better to show something that related to gambling in the noontime where children can watch freely. That can makes them curious and for some of them will find out more by visiting the casino or search it on the internet. Teenagers can search many things from the internet and they will know that is a gambling and makes them start to playing gambling.

That can makes the number of people who playing gambling will increase and difficult to control because they will see that gambling is one way to make money. They can keeps trying to make money from gambling and can becomes addicted to gambling if they don't have self control and other things. If a show related to gambling wants to entertain their audience, it is better they do that in a night when children already sleeps and will not watch it.

The most likely thing is that shows and other similar industries have probably already implemented their own restrictions when it comes to certain topics. Now if they let it go, it means that either A, it's actually ok content, B, they had a rated age warning at the start, which is a parent's responsibility now, or C, it's not really considered gambling at all, and people are just overreacting. There's only so much companies can do to restrict gambling related content while allowing it, since the next step from there is probably just outright banning it which a lot of companies are probably not willing to since it's, well, profit.

And honestly, if it's simple games like Hi/Low it's probably simple enough to not consider it as a gambling game. Probably in these cases as long as it isn't outright a "gambling scene", then it'd pass reviews.

To protect children from content shown on television and the Internet, you need to get rid of all such gadgets. But who, tell me, will do this in our time? There is a lot of other harmful information that children's minds see as soon as they begin to distinguish speech, so I do not think that such a show can harm children; in extreme cases, there is always the opportunity to distract the child with another activity.

It's the same game that we have seen in arcade, games that we thought are just for kids and for entertainment only, but they have found it's way to the casinos as well. For me, it's a subtle way to really introduce gambling to the public specially for our children. At first look it could be very harmless, but when our children see in the malls or in the arcade, it could have somewhat unknowingly putting in their mind that it is ok to play this kind of games specially if it involves money.

And then when they grow up, again not saying that our children are going to be addicted or what. But if we are being programmed in the young age, sooner or later, they might go and play. For us parents though, it's our responsibility recognize these risks, and educate our children.

Generally, I don't agree when games which can be played without betting is labeled as gambling games. There are traditional people who frown at card games because they consider them as gambling games. Some kids are asked to stay away from such games because they're more or less considered dirty games, games of money, which only adults can play.

This is the same with a simple high and low game which uses playing cards. There's nothing wrong with it. It's simply a game. It can be played purely for fun. It can be played without money involved. Everybody can enjoy that game, not just gamblers in casinos.

sometimes we underate the potential In children and assume they know nothing untill they open up and we get to know what they've known by mere observation. As much as I feel that depending on the age of the kids, some might outrightly not have the knowledge on certain gambling and even when the watch it on TV shows, they might not know what it is but the truth is that everything starts from a single point of almost zero knowledge. Some of them might not know a single thing about the show but once they have a first hand interaction with someone gambling, the image will flash back in Thier face and they will literally have a change of mindset towards the game.

Thier are certain things that shouldn't be allowed for the consumption of the general public and it's not just on the TV shows but I've seen back to back advert on my mobile Banking app that consistently tells me to stake games during the Euros via my mobile banking apps. Those kind of things are to be totally discouraged because someone that had to plan whatsoever of going into gambling can easily get lured into it and thier nothing worse that directly gambling from your mobile banking apps as it can easily lead you to become addicted. In summary, it's not just about gambling, the content our children watch in the TV have great effect on what they practice in real life so it's necessary that even as parents, we sensor some of those things.

Gambling in the country, where the show is being broadcast is legal; there are card games on parlour games and fiesta, so this is not new. If a person is inclined to gamble, he can be attracted to it and find a place to play games that attract him.
I watched the show almost every day, and it was a game of wit, strategy, and luck. The contestant is not betting anything, only his participation, so he is not really gambling. The show just wants to give money to the contestant in the tradition of If the price is right, so there is no illegal or bad on this. It's different if contestants are made to bet with their own money.

I find it problematic to introduce casino games such as Hi and Low card games into television programs that children can view. Although these games might be appealing and fun, infusing gambling components to an immature viewership can result in adverse effects. Young ones might lack a sophisticated appreciation of the perils associated with gambling and could easily be swayed into experimenting with wagering while still at tender ages.

The differentiation of content meant for pleasure and that which could stimulate negative conduct like gambling is significant. TV programs should be mindful of their influence on young audiences and opt for content that is informative and uplifting.

Typically, it is sensible for children-accessible TV shows not to integrate gambling features to prevent potential harmful habits later in life.

I think it's very dangerous if you talk about the potential impact that might occur and children will become vulnerable to gambling, games like that are certainly not good for children in my opinion because the problem will be very fatal, it may be true that there are some who are not affected but it is not impossible that of the many children who see it there are some children who want the game and or gambling.

That's pretty scary even though it's a fairly logical approach, I think there really needs to be some more consideration considering that at 1:00 am some children are still awake and want to watch TV, in my neighborhood it's also like that, not a few small children stay up in the middle of the night.

But fortunately gambling in my country is strictly prohibited to be broadcast, even on social media, especially about broadcasting gambling games on TV, it is strictly prohibited and the TV channel can be banned.

Not that the popular TV noontime is advertising gambling sites or telling people to gamble. It is just about a game. I can be with friends and play Ludo for hours. We can play Chess that I have not seen on gambling sites before for over 5 hours because chess is addicting. I have not played roulette before but on gambling sites and no one thought me how to gamble with roulette because it is simple to understand. There are many games that are easy to understand. What I am trying to say is that because you are playing games with friends, that does not means you are gambling online. Also there are games that you will just know how to play because they are common in your environment. These games are also on gambling sites. Also there are some games that are online that you can know easily or through the demo or fun mode. If you want to gamble or bet, that did not have to do because you have knowledge about the game, it is because you just want to gamble. There are many games online that you do not have to learn before you can know how to use it to gamble. Examples are dice and roulette.

Participating in sports does not mean that you are gambling but there are still some football unprofessional players that gamble with the matches that they play, I have done this before in high school. Who also told you that assuming these professional footballers are not restricted from gambling that they will not gamble with the matches that they are involved. FIFA understands this and that was why there put the law. Playing cards can lead to one staking with cards because when he feels that he has known all the tricks in the game and how to win, he will have confidence to stake. Dice is the worst because I started gambling with dice rolling. It turns from game to gambling gradually.
