Everyone in Brazil is tired of hearing the name of a game that became very popular in the country, becoming popular among the people and the talk of the media.

Jogo do Tigrinho, as Fortune Tiger is known , is a common slot game, created by PG Software.

However, due to its great popularity in the country, it began to be associated with scams and we frequently see reports on TV denouncing influencers involved with the game.

Just a simple search about Jogo do Tigrinho reveals several reports of people who have had several problems related to the lack of Responsible Gaming , with huge losses, addiction, dependence, cases of depression and anxiety.

But what draws attention is, is it Tigrinho’s fault?

Fortune Tiger is just another online slot game that simulates the famous slot machines, well-known machines in casinos where you put money in and spin some items on the screen, with the right to receive the prize depending on the combinations that come out of each round.

Like it, there are hundreds of other similar games, with the same chances of winning/losing and with similar bonuses offered on the same platforms, which do not receive the same attention.

Is the problem the Tiger?

While it is important to talk about the risks of online slots, isolating the problem to just one game, in addition to not creating the awareness and education necessary for the public to have an idea of ​​how games work, causes people to excessively blame a specific game.

Therefore, people do not take the same criticisms and fears to other slot games, which are exactly the same and work in the same way.

Raising awareness among gamblers necessarily involves education about how games work, their risks, their chances and the reasons for playing, which must remain as entertainment.

By accusing Jogo do Tigrinho of being a scam, or creating excessive media coverage around this game, people are allowed to continue playing other slot games , with figures other than the tiger, irresponsibly, because they believe that the problem lies in the famous “Jogo do Tigrinho” and not in the way they are playing the slot games.

How to report, then?

Transparency and a focus on awareness, not panic and alarmism, are important.

The Jogo do Tigrinho is a game similar to other slot games, which carry the same risks and consequences. Everyone must follow the principles of Responsible Gaming, not just the game that is in the media.

Teaching how to analyze whether the bookmaker chosen to play is regulated or illegal is an excellent way to inform bettors in a transparent way.

It is also important to explain the existence of demo accounts in these games, and that slot games are not scams, but rather modalities with low chances of winning, but with bonuses that can provide a big win.

It’s not Tigre’s fault , and neither is Tigre paying more than the other games.

This causes an overconfidence in other games that offer the same prizes with the same risks as Tigrinho.

User awareness of the risks and principles of Responsible Gaming should be more important than the animal that appears on the screen.
