Just browsing the daily fail online site and came across this article:
What I don't understand is there are loads of games with graphics that could appeal to youngsters
"In June, the Advertising Standards Authority banned adverts for three games on Coral’s website for breaching rules.
It said the animated figures, bright colours and motifs from children’s fiction meant the promotions for Rainbow Riches – which included a leprechaun – Fishin’ Frenzy and Lucky Wizard ‘were likely to be of particular appeal to under-18s’.
In the same month, adverts for the games Faeries’ Fortune and Santa Paws, featuring a polar bear in a Santa hat, on gambling websites fun88.co.uk and letou.co.uk were found to appeal to children."
We were all kids once as well, so the graphics of rainbow riches to my mind haven't been designed to hook children but just present a theme of an irish leprechaun, I suppose they could have used something more 18+ like the leprechaun from the horror film series.
