I was playing online last night and my son enjoys the slot so much. I let him do the spinning and he wins more than me.

Was this online or on a physical slot machine? Is your son an adult child? I am curious otherwise as to how you had a child in an establishment, gambling with you.

Children are prohibited in any gambling establishments. As I have read in the original posts they are playing online. So no wonder the son does the spinning.

OP specifically said they were playing slots online.  Of course they weren't in a casino, they wouldn't get in the door. 

There's a thread about gambling with kids in general.  I don't know if it's harmless or not to let them push a button the computer and watch the "wheels" spin.  It can be the equivalent of playing yahoo chess or bingo, as long as the kid knows it's just for fun at their age.

Yeah my son enjoyed the spinning and thought that what he is doing is just for fun. He is laughing out loud with his younger brother when they hear the sound.

I agree, as long as the kid knows that it is just for fun and that they should not be gambling then it can be fun for them. One of my kids likes to sit on my lap when I am playing online slots and watch the pictures spin

Slots online are sometimes even more enjoying to play rather than an real slot machine in a casino. That is why it is likable by the kids. But don't make it a habit for them to play it because they might learn how to gamble in an early age.

I'm not big on letting children play even if its harmless. I worry they wont associate gambling with losing real money if they only find it fun. While its fun and exciting it could lead to issues down the road which I don't want to be responsible for.
