Well, no wonder it happens, I mean, the idea of gambling itself is pretty appealing, especially in countries that are poor, you're given a small chance of winning a lot of money, and children are easily susceptible to that.
Thank you, we might laugh at them but our kids are doing exactly the same. These explorative micro transactions are causing kids to gamble on video games. I love console games but these loot boxes are glorified slot machines
Destro Cobra i live in Vancouver Canada.. and doesn't mean we should be spending all are lunch money on weed getting stoned all day we dont spend all are lunch money on cigs r alcohol just cus its legal.
Weed is very cheap in my country (africa) but illegal . It mostly cost 100 that is less than 5 cent of a dollar . A full dollar can get you half a plastic bag (the super market kind of bags ) full of weed to use .so yeah and no one cares really
The teacher offered a good solution, but a permanent solution would be to help these rural communities out of poverty! Gambling and poverty often coincide with one another
Yes but poverty and gambling addictions go hand in hand, you say you're fairly rich and you gamble most days--you however are actually in a position to do so, and you've not pissed away your money doing it. Most poor people can't actually afford to gamble but many do it anyways to the point where it gets them in dire straits
Kids have gambling problems in the USA too. On all the new video games. Pay money to open a chest that contains something inside of it. It’s pure gambling and it’s out of control
I am a Kenyan and its true, theirs lots of gambling machines. Good job from Vice news now i believe in your work. You really investigate thoroughly on each and every country you go to. Good job.
Is just like the 1980's in the U.S. Before portable gaming systems were popular, every U.S mall had an arcade that kids would spend every cent they had in. It became as bad as the kids in this story and only subsided because so many U.S kids have gaming systems in their homes now. If it wasn't for home gaming systems, U.S kids would still be just as bad if not worse.
atomtopa - Depends on the arcade! For example, If it was one at Chucky Cheese/ Showbiz Pizza ect, then "Yes" you could win something! Not legal money but for many young kids, it was just as valuable! I take it, you are not old enough to remember that time! If you were, you would not have made your comment. In the 80's when arcades were huge due to most kids not having access to video games at home, news channels spoke the same way about U.S kids as the Kenyan kids in this story. Spending all their lunch money, stealing money from their parents etc...
Madara Uchiwa Since they can't and they won't be able to afford those things at all, it's really fair to say those things doesn't exist for them. Gambling machines are the only thing at those kids disposal. Big Jay can be anything but ignorant. It's a nice analogy and it's true.
lmao people think they should get everything thing for free not do any work lmao typicall left leaning person that think u gonna get everything for free
I remember seeing "play2win" stores when i was a kid(5-9) in my country (India). It was everywhere. Every street had one and I used to hear adults talking about some dude who sold his house to win the lottery. Overnight it seemed to vanish. It was banned outright and gambling is very uncommon now. Probably still exists but driven underground and none of the people I know engage in gambling. It might not be a good idea to take a human psychological problem and drive it underground but it seems to have worked here
I remember my dads friends gambling back in the 1980s on machines that don't even give you cash. They would just give you points. To this day they are still poor and still are gambling but of course on slots and card games.
None of you got her point.. Lol Is that some guilt i smell? Lets not forget every country in Africa has been colonized (mostly raped) by a european nation for the last 400 years. Decimated, then blamed for their decimation and poverty.lol
D Wayne nobody is capable of feelings guilt for such a thing. You yourself say that it happened around 400 years ago, up through the years to maybe the 50s. Besides, that's all under the noses of any people who were alive then. I can't feel any guilt when I've only been alive for less than 20 years.
If 60 schillings is .06 cents then he once won 1000 schillings, which is 1 dollar, not 10 dollars USD as it says. 10,000 would be 10$. whose working the math side of this docu? This is in the opening minute interview.
I am Kenyan and didn't realize that this was happening in our country. It may be a problem but Vice has definitely blown this out of proportion. The title and facts are highly misleading. 58% drop out rate is simply not true.
This is total bullshit. This is the same thing when I was a kid and would go to an arcade. This is not even a huge problem in their country. Worthless story.
China seems to be targeting black countries and communities they’re in Jamaica too taking over most of the businesses and here in the UK most of the nail and hair shops and casinos please my people stop supporting them they have no care for your wellbeing, also fake rice and fish they’re exporting now!
They target everywhere. They pretty much own British Columbia and have a heavy hand in the US west coast and Australia. All over Latin America and Asia. The rest of the world fucks around while they catch people slippin, you just have to step your game up
HapaHarley I hear ya it seems there’s nothing anyone can do they can make things faster and cheaper than anyone else and have one of the biggest exporting economies in the world, crazy years to come.
CB W very true I’m sure Africa still pay a colonial fee to the French to this day. But what China isn’t doing in brute force is still affecting them financially, they’re not building them up they’re taking from their back pocket essentially. Africa needs to grow as a continent and thrive off of their own resources (what’s left of them) and build from the ground up. A lot of the bad things Chinese are doing is black market too as I said fake rice and fish products being sold in the African/Caribbean communities and it seems blacks are the only people who are buying these things. Economical targets.
The lady says "It should be left to adults and put in pubs away from children" WRONG. So instead of kids spending they lunch money, dad goes for a beer, blowing away the lunch money AND the day's earnings and possibly even going into debt. I've never seen any strong data to suggest that adults have more self control than kids when it comes to gambling.
here in germany berlin we have the same problem. in some streets there are more casinos than any other shops and only mafia who benefits from these machines. not so much children that play tho but a lot of young adults. its sad
The kid chose Norwich City that's why he lost

60 shillings is 6 cents?
Finally, I've found a slot machine I could afford to MAX BET on. 🤣😂
MafiaboysWorld There are actually 1 cent machines in America. Sometimes I would use those if I had some change (I don't really like gambling).
60 cents
It's sad that I wouldn't even pick up a quarter if I found it on the ground.
It’s actually 60 cents USD, Vice forgot to double check again.
These are basically penny slots. They exist in America.
Well, no wonder it happens, I mean, the idea of gambling itself is pretty appealing, especially in countries that are poor, you're given a small chance of winning a lot of money, and children are easily susceptible to that.
Distraction EDM They have nothing to do in those kind of environments as well. It's sort of sad oof
Tbh its easier to make money being an Uber driver...

Distraction EDM Oh i see. Very nice drawing!
America has a child gambling problem too, we just have it in the form of CS:GO Lotto, and other micro transactions
Jesus Dinosaur yeah. Luckily it's slowly been dying.
i hope, micro transactions are killing the games industry
Microtransaction isnt going anywhere. Look at how much EA is making from FIFA online.
That shit got struck down hard a while ago.

This is definitely a issue to observe, learn and psychoanalyze. Kids needs that thrill in their brains.
Gaming = gambling, not gameplay. They aren't gambling at home. They buy the game once and keep it.
