Game or games in casino that made headlines in your country in a bad way

[Bright0515]

In my country a lot of people talk about sports virtuals a lot and this is because of the damages that it has caused and how addictive the the game is. A lot of people get it wrong though, there is nothing wrong with gambling on any casino game but it is important to do it moderately. Sport virtuals has been a game of concern about my country and it is something people talk about a lot because of how it has affected the lives of people.

How about in your country, what game or game /games made headlines, or the government became alarmed because of the growing number of addicts to these games

One gambling game, (actually lotto) that from time to time make such headline here in my country is a local African lotto game known as baba ijebu.
Baba ijebu is a lotto game that has been effectively running for several decades even before I was born, I am very about the game in Nigeria and Ghana, I don't know if it still extended to other African countries like South Africa, Egypt and all.

The lotto game has a very strong presence in Nigeria and are very popular to the extend that the name has become like a household name, in some families, even unborn children know baba ijebu because both of their parents play the game.

Baba ijebu has been multiple times accused of using voodoo (what we call juju in this part of the world) on his customers to keep them from winning, and even when they win, he uses the same means to ensure that the player who won never achieves anything with the money..
This were all accusations, allegations that were never proven to be true but yet from time to time, such accusations come up in the media and spreads.

In my country, online gambling addiction is often caused by slot games, even these words are very familiar in almost all circles, my country is very worried about online gambling because the impact on my country is very big, many young people in my country are not productive because of online gambling

Those who are not productive choose not to be and don’t have anything to do with online gambling; that’s just their excuse. They don’t want to work and see gambling as a fast means of making money even when it doesn't happen. Some of them have seen gambling as somewhere designed to make easy money; that’s their problem of picturing gambling that way and not the system itself.

Lottery is sometimes always associated with some mystical things or beliefs in some areas because in my area is also always the same there are some people who sometimes believe by doing certain rituals they will get a win in the lottery that they do but things like this is just a superstition in gambling.

In my country it does not lead to things that smell like voodoo like this but for those who play in the lottery they always believe that everything related to ourselves before buying or putting numbers in the lottery will be related as when someone is looking for a number that they think will get a win from a dream, from vehicle license plates to those who are looking for an accident to see the license plate of the vehicle which is considered to bring good luck. Of course, this is just superstition.

I've not heard of cock fighting gamble in my country and that means the likelihood of that gamble to exist is almost zero, usually the games most people like to play that I know of and very addictive is a simulation football game, a virtual football game, and crash games usually aviator. This games that i just mention and run some people dry, even to a close friend of mine, his irresponsible act towards this game created some level of conflict between himself and his family but I'm glad he has learnt from his mistakes and is adjusting gradually.

Gambling type of cockfighting that I know this is gambling pitting two roosters in an arena accompanied by betting activities of money or valuables, in my neighborhood many neighbors who like to do this gambling and the stakes that I hear can be large also up to millions in number, but I once thought of cockfighting in online because I think this can only be, and after I thought-thought ternryata online cockfighting is like football so we only place bets on chickens that will compete. Not a few cases of someone in my environment who lost large amounts of money due to gambling whether it was offline or online. This refers to how well we control ourselves when gambling.

Sabong becoming popular headlines in my country because few weeks ago, police disperse local sabong at the traditional market and they hide in a secret place that only gamblers know and with a high security.

Most of the news are about traditional gambling games including sabong. They are smart to use a hidden place that not many people know if that is small "casino" so they don't think much.

The police and local authority really serious to eradicate gambling especially if they suspect many secret places used for gambling after their investigation. A help from local community was also helped them to finds the other places so they can moves fast to arrest the gamblers.

You are right, this has become one of the major topic when it comes to casino games and the reason for this is because of the rate at which people are addicted to the game. This game has made a lot of people lose significant amounts of money and the funny thing is that even though people that are new to gambling hear about other people's how unfortunate other gamblers have been they still want to try.

That is were you will fear the spirit that controls gambling. Sometimes it makes me start wondering if really people understand what people are pretty going through all in the name of gambling, because I'm still trying to understand why gamblers keep on pushing forward despite several negative reports about it. Perhaps their is more to it that's controlling gambling that we are still not getting straight.

This is the same story in my country before but due to the existence of online casino specifically slot games many people stop doing illegal sabong rather just play online casino.

Sabong is still popular here but mostly on legitimate colosseum only not  in remote area since people already have wide choices of gambling.

Even slot games/scatter already cooling down the trend after popular payment processor remove gambling feature on their app for direct access on casino.

Headlines? No, most talked about? Yes, Aviator is the number one game that have ruined most lives in my country, I've listened to several podcasts and addiction based programs to know this, it's always Aviator like some kind of evil spirit is making people to go for the game and get addicted.

Sports bets is the second one on my list, people lost homes and businesses because they venture into sports bet like it's a business company, I will like to say this, that just because you know the in and out of sport like football doesn't mean gambling will or should work well for you.

In reality, anything that comes with risk, people do not recon the good times or news.

They only want to highlight the times when it's negative and use it to show examples why people shouldn't partake in such activities. Gambling is risky and we know about that very well. But don't people still participate in it?

Those people are not too good, they only understand one principle others might not get. Don't get too attached to gambling because it's difficult to pull out of it when already too deep.

It is clear of course that gambling is an activity that does have a high risk because even with the statement that the chances of winning owned by this player tend to be smaller than the chances of winning owned by the casino, so no matter how hard players pursue victory in gambling they still only have a lower chance of winning than the chances of losing and that can make them lose more often than win. And actually I'm sure every person who gambles is actually aware of the risk but the opportunity to win makes them encouraged to continue to gamble but this does not apply to those who have a wise mindset in terms of gambling.

Right, online sabong for us Philippines has bad connotations, specially the case of missing "sabongeros" who up until know, Atong Ang was still a fugitive and the police don't know where the mastermind is hiding.

And scatter too, many news popping about how our fellow Filipinos fall into the addiction of playing this slot games. To the point that there is a big argument about it and everywhere you can see ordinary people playing and getting addicted to this game.

I almost forgot that missing sabungero issue which is a very heartbreaking for the victim family. I doubt they can get justice on our government that is just using the issue as an escape goat for the flood control corruption.

Even the law regarding online gambling that is being push to ban social media promotion is also on halt or out of the picture due to many political shenanigans.

People still gamble in secret places. They played cards, dice, and sabong which makes more people addicted. Although police arrested those people, that will not stop others continue gambling. They stop gambling for a while and just disappeared by not showing themselves in public.

If the situation clear and quiet enough, they come back with other veterans and continue gambling but this time, they will selective to select the gamblers.

I admitted that slot games becoming next popular online gambling here makes people curious and they can use their phone to play. Sometime I watched some people, less than 30 years, playing Gates of Olympus.

The issue of gambling addiction is becoming a global pandemic. And this has been aggravated by economic problems facing the common man. When the economy of a country is in shambles and there is a high rate of unemployment. People would always seek means to get an alternative source of income. And in some cases, they turn to gambling and this could lead to addiction.

I read news of a woman who had to drop her daughter in a physical gambling point as collateral for the credit she accessed from the operators. The gambling operators had to involve the police because she left and didn't come back for the child for a long time.

That particular game is truly very popular since I frequently watch many streamers playing that game that just vary between Sweet Bonanza and Sugar Rush.

At least in my country, This games is already the go to slot games of streamers while JILI provider is the top pick by low bankroll players since there’s an option to a very small cents compared to other game providers that usually offer higher minimum bet.

Aside from gates, what other popular game provider in your country?

How about in your country, what game or game /games made headlines, or the government became alarmed because of the growing number of addicts to these games

There is this virtual football game usually played in physical casinos,  in my country these casinos are like shops, walk in shops where people can visit to play all sort of casino games, it was popular around most states in my country, by a popular bookmakers,  I won't be mentioning their name because I don't think it may be necessary.  That game became so popular that you see both the young and tha old engaged in playing  this game every hour of the day you visit these shops.

It trended some time that the game has caused some prevalent addiction amongst it's players, this was because three players were motivated by the wins of a few who within that period were very lucky to have winning bets a number of times. Some of the players were seen getting into debts,  some sold valuables after they must have gone bankrupt playing  the game.

Here in Brazil, the big craze is what we call in Portuguese the “jogo do tigrinho”
It's become so popular that people practically only use that name for gambling games

It's actually the Fortune Tiger



Every time the news reports on something negative about gambling and addiction, they end up mentioning Fortune Tiger

bad, if this game has so many problems, why doesn't the state, which in theory should protect citizens, intervene?
obvious, because politicians are paid with good money and therefore by taking the bribes they turn a blind eye and don't care

how disgusting.

[348Judah]

My country are not mostly focused on differentiating games from each other, it's either you see them support for gambling or go against it by all means, it is left to us to decide on which game to play and the ones we shouldn't, since we know those that are really interesting and serves as an entertainment and the types we play with high risk depriving us from having fun because of the terms and condition in playing such, this makes it our personal discretion to decide on which to play and why it is entertaining to us in playing it, my own country will only either accept for gambling or go against it entirely.

The government doesn't ban online gambling
And in my opinion, it shouldn't

However, the media always refers to gambling in a negative way and constantly mentions this game

The government has a service that allows citizens to block themselves from all legal gambling services here

I believe that a ban isn't the answer, especially when the government is preventing you from gambling
