Maquinita's Addiction

La maquinita

Maquinita this is how they name a tipe of slot machines locate at some grocery store in the rural neighborhood here in Dominican Republic.

In this first lesson I learned how people grab a bad habits and become in addiction.

I don't have to cross the street to get to a grocery store and hit one of those machine coin.

Sometimes people go to buy something important for their family or themselves and they finished gambling the last coin they have in their pockets.

How do they play this game?

The first step you have to change your bill for coins of five pesos (5 DOP), the Maquinita had 13 numbers from 0 to 12, and 12 coins are what you get if you win, I mean 60 pesos including the currency you got.

I've investigated some information to publish it here on the blog, one of the information I've receive that people who own these business are very rich.

All these Maquinitas are distribute in the grocery store into the rural neighborhood around the Dominican Republic.

Our children and teenagers are the hardest affect and addict to this crap in a early age. They are getting involve thinking that they can predict the number in the following lap but slowly they are losing their money and they are falling into a deep and uncontrollable addition.

In my personal opinion I think the person who invented this game it was not thinking to lose money, I'd like you see them what kind of car they are driving.

Those slot machines are in places open to all our children they are the most affected with the gambeling addictions..
