Challenge

How did a fictional character succeed in giving 14-17-year-olds a language for gaming addiction?

In Denmark, you must be at least 18 years old to gamble. Nevertheless, gambling is a completely natural part of children and young people's everyday lives. They play in classrooms, during breaks, in their rooms at home, and even at parties.

Solution

So how do you give children and young people a language for the addiction to gambling? We created the character The One-Armed Bandit - an analogy for gambling addiction that sits on your shoulder and whispers in your ear that you should play. Through a series of films, The One-Armed Bandit presents the audience with the consequences of gambling addiction. And he delivered his points as a natural character on the internet, which the young people follow for the sake of entertainment.
