Isn't the mpaa scale about watching it in motion pictures? What does that possibly have to do with actually doing it?

well you arent actually doing it...the most you are doing is clicking a button or dropping something. but if you wanna dive into semantics then fine. gambling according to the esrb is e for everyone. e is what emc would be qualified as, so again how is it not family friendly and what scale is he using to determine that other than subjective morality or real life correlations?

the main point that i am saying is the Casinos = gambling = not family friendly

It's all about personal choice... You do not have to spend your rupees at casinos if you do not want to, Some people get really lucky and make some good money from it. The people that make casinos gotta save up just to make them nevermind all the hard work they have to put into making it and maintaining it. Some of the machines that people make are insane and they put many many hours into them. If anything this all teaches emc a lesson on legitimate gambling. It all comes down to personal choice. Rules and regulations have been set and every machine has to go through a fully inspected approval. If you're against it dont visit them plain and simple. (Sorry for the rant) Just putting what goes into consideration for all of this on the table

Thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread so far. I'd like to go ahead and officially state a staff decision regarding these casinos on EMC, as well as the reasoning behind the decision.

The current rules do cover a lot of what the community has expressed worries about.

I believe one of the issues regarding the approval of casino games, and the subsequent running of them, originates from the assumptions of how staff handle the verification. So to make it completely clear, here is a unclassified excerpt from the super secret staff guide:

I understand that quite a few of you have the opinion that gambling is not 'family friendly'. If you look at many family friendly games available to the public, you will note that the idea of casinos is rather prevalent in all sorts of games, that are still very family friendly. On EMC, The player is not forced to participate and they are informed that they are not guaranteed to win. If a player feels the need to gamble away their rupees, they can never go negative. In fact, just a few days of voting and their rupees are back in their pockets to be spent on whatever THEY want to.

We are allowing casinos to continue their presence on EMC. This is not because we want players to learn the faults of gambling when it isn't real money. This is because we completely promote a PLAY YOUR WAY frame of mind, and casinos are just like big mega-malls were in 2012. They are the newest way to make money on EMC, if you feel like taking the time to make one. And just like a big mega-mall, you could choose to simply not give them any money if you didn't want to. That is your decision to play the game your way.

We believe that the current regulations are stringent enough that we do not need to make any changes at this time. If you ever assume that someone has changed their machine after a staff members approved it, or is running a game in an incorrect manner, then please /report it to a staff member. We do re-evaluate games upon request and the casino owners are well-informed of the risks to everything they own if they are not wise and try to scam players this way.

Once again, thanks for your input. I understand that this is a very divided issue and I want to help you all to understand that we don't take the moderation of these casinos lightly.

so is that it. there staying?

Thank You for taking the time to explain this to everyone! The rules that are in place are there to prevent scamming. Personal Choice is what should keep convos like this from sprouting

I agree with Krysyy, even though I don't ever use casinos personally nor do I have one, I think they should be allowed but only if they're fair and everyone needs to be careful/responsible.
