LVSun - 'Slots for Tots' slammed
They have a diffrent kind of Slots for Tots in Atlantic City. A lot of arcade's on the boardwalk have slot machine's that kids can play to win prize's. The Council on Compulsive Gambling hates them, and say's their only getting kids used to playing them so they'll go into casino's when they grow up.

We stayed (unfortunately) at Circus Jerk-us several years ago (never again!).
In the Downstairs Arcade and/or in the Theme Park, there were kids games based on popular Vegas games. They spit out tickets like Chuckie Cheese or Magic Mountain type places, but they were not the typical games.
Needless to say that I got a creepy feeling just watching their future generation of income being trained and seduced at such an early age.
I decided then and there I would never take my children to Vegas until age 21 or more.
To reinforce that thinking, on this last trip (December 03) we were walking across the ped bridge from The Trop to MGM and observed a Mom and her 8 or 9 year old son walking in front of us.
She was gazing up at the Hotels and he was walking along picking up his fair share of every kids favorite trading cards. Imagine the thrill of sharing those in school with his classmates.
Imagine the Principal calling to share with her what Junior learned on Christmas in Vegas

A television add showing children playing kiddie type slots was very
influential in defeating a proposed casino along the Maine Coast.
Good-bye 125 mil. in added tax revenue and 1,500 new jobs!
