[001] OmniSonic Current Version
Changed line(s) 1 from:

Ah, I see. The Sonic example isn\'t really gambling though; in levels of that nature you don\'t put any offers up to bet, you simply get a bonus or penalty of rings while entering slots so it\'s just a luck-based event. More to the point, I\'m not sure about this episode\'s parallel to gambling itself; no wager is ever mentioned, nor a prize, and people can root for horses with perfect innocence, so if anyone gets gambling from that I believe it\'s a YMMV.

EDIT: Also, with regards to gambling being a radar event, I don\\\'t think it\\\'s really \\\"past the radar\\\" if the show is blatant about it like Spongebob was. Plus kids start gambling with small amounts fairly early, the only reason to have gambling on the radar is if it has an obvious connection to an adult method, like real casino activities, lotteries or horse betting.
