Roulette inspired wheels don’t belong in childrens’ video games. PERIOD

Fortnite, a video game by Epic Games has now featured a slot-machine style wheel — in a game played heavily by kids.

The Daily Dot reports that Epic Games introduced a roulette-style mechanic into their game Fortnite that mimics casino gambling: flashing rewards, randomized outcomes, and the same psychological hooks used in roulette.

This matters because the human brain isn’t fully developed until the mid-20s — yet 60% of gambling participants are ages 18–24, with ages 10–17 close behind.

Epic Games is blatantly training the next generation to chase losses, dopamine, and addiction before they can even understand the consequences.

We are watching a dangerous precedent being set in real time —this is evil stuff right here.

Take some time to read the article. Take action and stand up against the exploitation of our youth. Our children matter more than money.

Contact Epic Games via email and tell them this is unacceptable and needs to be immediately removed from the game immediately!!!!

Billionaires don’t “earn” casino licenses. They buy them with lobbying, influence, and political deals, as Steve Cohen’s Queens casino push shows. Casinos (and every form of gambling) are predatory extraction machines that transfer money from working people to the house and its investors.
