Yes, I still say BAN the TOY that features a SLOT MACHINE function.

I have read all the posts in relation to the reasons you all love your virtual Pets...

I am probably the only Adult poster on this web site. I still believe that positive re-enforcement that GAMBLING is GOOD, is VERY BAD NEWS.....

I have been doing some research into problem gambling and if you all think about all the ways it effects the community as a whole you may be concerned to.

I will ask you all the same Question...

Why does a large toy manufacturer need to add GAMBLING PRODUCTS into games designed for kids???

There must be a reason. I for one would not like any of my children playing and learning how to gamble....

I bought a TAMAGOTCHI V2, and I was unable as a parent to make an informed purchase as the outside of the product does not carry a WARRNING. (ie. WARRNING - Contains Gambling Game). My aim is to get this warning applied to any toy/video game that features a gambling device or simulator.

I ask again a SLOT MACHINE for KIDS, THAT IS VERY WRONG.

Why have a law that bans minors from the CASINO or POKIE Parlour? If toys can escape Australian Laws through a LOOP HOLE.

The TAMAGOTCHI V2 in it's present form should be BANNED from sale in AUSTRALIA.

I am sure that their would be more concerned parents out there.

Again, remove the SLOT GAME, and THEN I WOULD BE HAPPY

I am also going to look at other Electronic Games that simulate gambling, then watch out as I for one will not give up until the Australian Laws that govern our GREAT country are changed to OUTLAW them.

Now that is my 2 cents worth.

BAN_TAMAGOTCHI.....

Ok, Ban_Tamagotchi, you're a dunce. Sorry that I gotta be harsh, but I am.

So what if it has a Slot Machine Function? Not only do so many other kid's games and toys do, but there are 3 other games on the Tama. You don't HAVE to play the Slot game.

We never said that gamblig was good. I for one honestly don't care about it. If stupid adults wanna waste their life away throwing allt their time, money and effort in front of a machine that is as boring as hell, let them. And how are you so sure that you're the only adult here? There could be somebody here OLDER than YOU.

Yes, I know gambling is a community problem, but in reality, it means nothing to us. We honestly don't care abbout how adults run their lives, He just care on how they run our OWN.

Look, if Tamagotchis were gambling products, they'd defidently have more casino-styled stuff on them, and maybe on the back have "Sponsored by the Las Vegas Casino Dept." or something like that.

Kids don't learn how to gamble from plastic eggs, nor will they play ot one and say "Hey Mommy, Daddy, can we go to Las Vegas? I just feel kinda lucky..."

And why in the world should their be a WARNING on the Tamagotchi for one little thing in the programming that you honestly cal overlook?

I know slots are bad for kids, why do you think they don't GO THERE?!

Oh god, you honestly don't know anything about the Austrailian Government do you. I'm American and even I probrably know more than you.

Austrailia has banned a lot of things. GTA, Russian Imports, blah blah de da blah, but banning plastic eggs is the last straw.

Why would parents be concerned? Besides, they play slots all the time, and if a kid hears about it for one second the parent flips.

You can't remove the slot game. There are already at least over 100,000 V2s out there, and kids are playing them. What are you gonna do, raid their homes and steal their pets and crush them with your foot?

Look, how much stuff do you plan on banning before you gotta lock your kids up in grey, depressing schools forcing them to do schoolwork 24/7 and have no whatsoever?

I tooky our two cents, bought a gumball with it, then threw it at your head and knocked you out.
