Online slots are not exactly fit for children. Nonetheless a majority of the slots released could possibly appeal to children. Even though casino games have an age restriction for a reason, this has not stopped slot developers from creating slots that could appeal to children – learn more now.

Find below a list of slots that got banned for being too child-friendly.

What Attracts Children to Slots?

In a nutshell, the aspect of slots that children find most appealing is the graphics and design. Children are drawn to cute fluffy animals and characters from their favorite bedtime stories. Unfortunately, these are also the types of images that online casinos use for slots.

While there are laws protecting kids from ads directed at them, you cannot stop websites from using these images. Or can you?

Child-Friendly Slots That Got Banned

Children nowadays are very good at technology. Most of them know how to do an internet search, which could expose them to online casino games.One example would be a child who does a Google search for Jack and the Beanstalk. This seems like an innocent enough request, but there are so many online slots with similar themes and who use these popular fairytale images. The child could think that the free version is just a game and start spinning, not knowing that this is actually gambling. Children could thus unintentionally playing online slots.

Fairytale Legends Red Riding Hood

Red Riding Hood is a fairytale themed released by NetEnt. The imagery is undeniably that of the popular fairytale. The backdrop features an animated hilltop against a cloudy sky. Symbols include little red riding hood, of course, the wolf as well as grandma.

The slot features five reels, three rows,and 20 fixed paylines.The game has quite a few bonus features. They include three fairy features (Fairy Surprise, Fairy Wild Spin and Fairy Magic Spin), sticky wilds and more bonus games.

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel is another slot in the Fairytale Legends series by NetEnt. On the reels, players will find Hansel, Gretel, and a whole variety of different candies. This highly animated slot is so typically Hansel and Gretel that kids will no doubt be attracted to it.

Like Fairytale Legends Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel features five reels and three rows, but this time with only ten paylines.

Fairies Forest

It is no secret that children love fairies. Fairy Forest was developed by NextGen. As the name suggests, the slot is filled with fairies in all colors and forms. It features five reels and a whole bunch of bonus features, including Free Games, a scatter bonus, and of course a fairy bonus.

Final Thoughts

Since the very beginning age restrictions were put in place for gambling. However, with the advent of online slots also came a lot of risk with regards to underage players. Combine this with slot developers’ tendency to create child-like slots and you could have a problem.
