Slot Jockey Children
The other day my two children were fully absorbed in their “Littlest Pet Shop” digital pet. They looked like zombies sitting on the couch with their mouthes open staring at the little screen. I asked what they were doing and my seven year old answered with “playing the pokies”. That stopped me dead in my tracks, I couldn’t believe it. So I went over for a look and sure enough both my five year old and seven year old were playing digital pokies! Perhaps Hasbro has a vested interest in the pokies market and to make sure there are gamblers for the future they are instilling the gambling habit in our young? Just a thought! Why on earth did the designers of this toy include such a function? Thanks Hasbro, you are now responsible for a generation of slot jockey children!
