People play gambling games for different reasons. Some of them head to casinos with big wins in mind, others are seeking for nothing but the thrill of taking a risk while immersing themselves in their preferred form of entertainment. No matter if these games<are played online or in real life, they have one thing in common: they are only meant for adults. Legally, for people over the age of 18 (21 in some countries).
The real money games section at Euro Palace Casino is only accessible for a mature audience. Just as the casino security in Vegas, keeping an eye on the visitors, and keeping underage people out of the facility, the Euro Palace also has policies and procedures in place to keep kids out. After all, the license the Euro Palace (and all other casinos in real life and online) need to be able to function are pretty clear about the minimum age of the players. The Euro Palace has a free section, too, which doesn’t involve real money, which is also behind an age gate – and with good reason.
Why the legal age?
“Legal age” is a concept that is tied to a series of activities. At the age of 18, for example, people are considered mature enough to be responsible for their actions. This is why getting married, voting, or even gambling, are only allowed to be done by people of a certain maturity. Being 18 years old doesn’t mean that the person in question is indeed “mature”, but one of taking responsibility for their actions. Gambling involves real money stakes, which makes it an activity that is only fit for a mature person.
Why keep your kids away from gambling?
Casino games are fun to play – and many of them, especially slot machines, have the potential to be addictive. Slot machines are a unique mix of anticipation and reward, and come with the promise – or, better said, the chance – of winning big. Even with no real money involved – like in the case of social casino games and slot machine apps – the games still produces its psychological effects on its players. This is one of the reasons why social casino games are so popular, especially among players who don’t have access to the “real thing” – like those living in the US.
Imagine the same effect unleashed on kids, who are easier to influence. Video game addiction is widespread as it is – add the constant feeling of anticipation and reward the slot machines have on their players, and you have a combination that’s not quite what a child needs.
In conclusion, it would be best to keep kids away from social slot machines – this way they will be less likely to turn to them as adults.
