Slot Educational

I also think that such parades do not help to reduce gambling addiction among the population, on the contrary, it can draw attention to gambling to those who are far from it. Very often an anti-advertisement is a good advertisement for a certain circle of people. At least I am sure that such a parade will definitely attract the attention of teenagers, and they are likely to misunderstand such an initiative.

Exactly, it looks like a parade of introduction and mostly those who’ve seen this parade will get curious about it and some might started to try this one. I’m about to laugh on this parade, didn’t expect someone will actually do this. Again, this can’t help with regards to addiction in gambling, the authorities should start making their presence felt and warn those sites about encouraging younger people getting into gambling, maybe they can increase the age who are allowed to gamble, this can help.

I also thought it was for education but it's more on promotion because those who are not aware of these games will likely get curious and try their luck because the parade is showing how a slot is being played so they will try their luck, the parade should be strictly for costumes and traditional characters or heroes of their country, they should not involve or show gambling kinds of stuff.

Here in our country, our parade is more on religious figures, because we are predominantly catholic we have a lot of fiestas about our saints this is the kind of parade worth watching than promoting gambling stuff or anything related.

I'm not sure if the parade they did was for the promotion of gambling slot games or to reduce the number of gambling addicts or would-be addicts. The Olympus for me is obviously a promotional games in that slot.

      And for my own opinion that I don't think it will help the people around them because it's still gambling as if they're giving the community there a chance to be curious about casino online gambling, that's what it means to me which is not good and I do not agree in my own opinion.

Same as other members' answers, it's a NO.

Now kids found out what are gambling activities outside their reach. They may try to reach it now. This parade may be the reason to increase their curiosity and it's the parade's fault.
Why? A parade is not for negative effects, it's a booster, even though its purpose is to reduce the number of gamblers doing slots, the impact will not be negative but it could be the other way. They may have made a mistake here and they just helped the gambling places in your country.
A simple advisory/warning using a microphone or a megaphone could've been better. Adding characters will make people come out thinking it's a fun parade.

I agree with your statement.

With parades like these, they actually bring more harm than good as it exposes and somehow advertises the usage of slots. Indirectly, they are also advertising gambling in the process by making an activity about it. When people become curious, they would search and look for it, thereby increasing the chances of people gambling in the process.

Parades such as this one should be prohibited as it confuses the general public. Moreover, the context of such parade is very unclear and could potentially be harmful.

I'd like my vote to be counted its a no also OP should change the title, it's not educational it's more promotional they even have the name of the slot, the parade should be about heroes, religious figures, or even the city's or the place's best spot but never about gambling, when you are educating people on the harmful effect of gambling it should be in a way where people can listen intently and fully understand it, a parade cannot give a good result.

[ralle14]

That's what I think as well. The parade didn't look that effective, or at least the one from the video, because you can't quickly understand what they wanted to point out. And it only made sense with OP's initial explanation on the motorcycles. I admire their effort to make a parade against gambling addiction, but it should've gone through more planning, or they could've shifted to a different method so their effort won't go to waste just like that. It might've even backfired because they used the actual slot name in the last part of the video.

[Chikito]

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

I just watch your video and have an opinion if that video doesn't affect reducing gambling addiction because when I look at them is not so serious playing role. They still are smile and happy while bringing misery. But I salute, that video is enough attractive and impressive to tell the younger generation that gambling is not good for them. In this situation, that video indirectly shows us that gambling would be very damaging if you can not manage the money properly.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

No. In fact, I found that parade to even expose more gambling.

I believe like most that although the intention of this parade is to warn of the negative risks of slots, the festive tone can as you say expose gambling and do more harm than good.

It might've even backfired because they used the actual slot name in the last part of the video.

I don't know who came up with it, but it doesn't seem to have been devised after serious research into its possible effectiveness. It certainly does not seem the best way to try to prevent slots.

[Kakmakr]

Do you really think a small local parade will make any difference, when gambling advertisements are being repeated over and over again on television and radio?

The Internet is also designed to focus on individual targeted marketing, so the moment when you search for anything gambling related, then the search algorithms will target you for gambling related advertisements. 

We need regulation to minimize aggressive marketing of irresponsible gambling establishments to reduce gambling addiction.

I second this opinion. It's more like the Gates of Olympus advertisement, people will curious about it since the parade is pretty fun with costumes and stuff.

I think such a parade is quite common when it comes to smoking, going green, LGBT, etc., the main difference is how the issue is presented... slots should depict problem gambling without using nice costumes and stage.

in the video, it is not explained which region (city) it comes from but it is clear that the parade is from my country, in the parade it is clear what slot players get when they play from the "first" month (still motorbikes are expensive) to month "fourth" (ugly motorcycle).

without direct education by the central and local governments to young people and the general public, I think this kind of parade is not effective enough, it's even obvious, the parade is the initiative of the private community in the area.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

not sure if that will discourage gambling addicts or even cause someone who doesn't know about slots to know about slots out of curiosity what slot games are. in the video is not very complete so that it makes the pros and cons that make people think negatively and even positively.
from the negative side there are good motorbikes in the first month, now with people who don't know how slot gambling works they will think it's easy to get money in 1 month getting a good motorbike after that it will stop after getting what you want.
from the positive side, maybe after the parade, the dangers of gambling (if any) will be explained.

the reason I say this is because I understand your country prohibits various types of gambling and if the parade is carried out without any clarity about all of it, it is just like indirect advertising.
we take the example of cigarettes which are always advertised about the dangers of smoking but the increase in smokers is increasing because it is increasingly known by everyone.

Interesting, I don't know what their purpose is but it seems to be trying to provide education. Effective or not I think they are trying to give advice on how bad sloot gambling addiction. They will even fall into poverty if they continue to recover their losses.
I think the government should also start paying attention to this issue. Many sloot sites are freely created. It seems that I am also in the same country as the author of the topic. Even in my village the majority of adults with one child have played this.

The objective of the parade which is about advising people from quiting gambling and not turning to gamble addicts relative to the possible dangers that follows.
In my own opinion, I think the objective may not be well achieved compared to if it were to be some kind of a town-hall symposium lecture they would have dug deep in exposing the dangers of gambling addiction to the people with a question and answer section that might have followed rather than just a parade that addresses the surface of the issue.

Addiction of any kind didn't start up in a day in anyone's life and as such just a one day parade isn't effective enough to dissuade addicts from it.

It would be effective if there is a message being delivered. But if I am going to base it solely on the picture? It is more like advertising a gambling website than spreading awareness about moderation in gambling.
The fact that the message is not imparted from their movement to your post, is proof that the parade is ineffective in reducing the level of gambling addiction. It's more like a clout and sponsorship. Thumbs down to their marketing. Thumbs down to truly spreading awareness.

Maybe aims to show the poor gambling but indirectly educate problems with people who do not know about gambling with the symbol of Zeus, I think it is not effective to reduce the level of addiction because such things do not attack critically against logic and mental, and I think it will be useless.
People who want to stop gambling or the most effective strategy in my opinion are self -exile from what makes it easy to play gambling such as mobile phones and their environment, a new environment that does not know gambling will make it easier for people to reduce addiction until he stops gambling is very effective.

It was difficult to understand what was going on, the message intended to be passed by the parade is not clear enough and the details can easily be misunderstood by the audience. This is not an effective parade that will have the effect of reducing gambling addiction.

Although the idea behind the parade is good, they have not done a good job in executing it. It now looks more entertaining than educative. An effective parade to reduce gambling addiction will be more focused on passing a clear message to gamblers about the dangers. It may not be fun, but it will be educative.

I'm not sure if the parade they did was for the promotion of gambling slot games or to reduce the number of gambling addicts or would-be addicts. The Olympus for me is obviously a promotional games in that slot.

It was a parade to warn people about gambling.  If you noticed the 4 motorcycle and the label on it.  It shows how a person finances are drained by gambling.  But sadly the presentation looks done in haste and that instead of preventing people to gamble, the parade probably made bystanders and audience to be more curious on the Gate of Olympus slot game.

     And for my own opinion that I don't think it will help the people around them because it's still gambling as if they're giving the community there a chance to be curious about casino online gambling, that's what it means to me which is not good and I do not agree in my own opinion.

I also think the same.  The parade put more emphasize on the slot game than the effect of it.

Yeah it looks like done with haste and probably with low budget.  They could have enlarge the messages carried by the 4 motorcycle, or they could have create a banner emphasizing the negative effect of gambling.  Either way, the message should be more noticeable than the presented slot game but sadly the Gate of Olympus took the spotlight.

Addiction is really a tough battle for gamblers, and it is really need to take an action by the government as well since they are the ones who benefited the most in terms of taxes and everything. And they should partnered with healthcare professionals so that the fee will lessen if they want to be put in rehab once they are being addicted also I think every gambling casino should have a counsellor that anyone can ask.

[ethereumhunter]

Maybe it can make people aware not to play gambling because it can negatively impact their lives. At the parade, I saw the decline in life that a person would experience if he continued to gamble. But it can also make many people curious and don't believe that gambling can negatively impact their lives. And it is this type of people who will be the next target and will become addicted.

This requires the participation of all parties, the central and regional governments, each person at his residence and always paying attention to people who are still gambling. If more education about the dangers of playing gambling is given to the public, it will be even better so that programs to reduce the problem of gambling addiction can be achieved.

If indeed the aim is to provide a warning about the negative effects of gambling addiction, the government should also take it fairly where they must provide some more positive activities and always provide education to every citizen.
In addition, the government must also try to be able to create services so that they can optimize ways to stop gambling or cure someone from gambling addiction.

do you think, a parade like this will be effective in reducing the level of gambling addiction?

I'm not sure that having a parade like this can effectively reduce the level of gambling addiction because this is just like entertainment for the residents who come to watch the parade.
