Woolworth’s has been subjected to a $5000 fine, after a child was discovered playing in the gaming section of one of the operator’s clubs. It is important for parents not to expose their children to gambling, as they could develop unhealthy and unrealistic attitudes about the activity. Players noticed the child running around the gaming floor, as if it were a playground.

They state that he entered the area over 15 times and no one stopped him from doing so. At one point, the child was even sat at a poker machine, accompanying his parent. To ensure that similar situations do not take place in the future, Woolworth’s has been slapped with a heavy fine.

It is hoped that the operator will employ more security and ensure that its current staff members are aware of the consequences of having children on the gaming floor. We believe that the child’s parent also holds some responsibility, and should also face fines. Since security cameras caught the child sitting beside his father at a poker machine, he should have sent him away.

His failure to do so should have resulted in some sort of disciplinary action.
