当爪机继续蘑菇时，春堡的忧虑坐骑，尽管有可能使儿童陷入赌博行为

在纳克恩·纳约克（Nakhon Nayok）警察最近抓住了77枚硬币操作的爪子机之后，人们对他们诱使青年陷入赌博后，这一问题加剧了。

A new wave of worries is rolling into Chonburi as electronic claw machine arcades, often standing as a guise for a deeper concern, continue to sprout rapidly across Banglamung district—sparking worries about their potential to groom children into gambling behaviors.

新一波的担忧正在以电子爪机街道的身份进入春堡，通常以更深刻的关注为幌子，继续迅速在邦德拉姆区迅速发芽，这使他们担心他们有可能将儿童培养为赌博行为。

The concern heightened further after Nakhon Nayok police recently seized 77 coin-operated claw machines following complaints that they were used to induce youth into gambling. The raid, on April 23, found no owner present and confirmed the machines were being used without proper authorization.

在纳克恩·纳耶克（Nakhon Nayok）警察最近抓住了77枚硬币操作的爪子机后，人们对他们被用来诱使青年进行赌博后，进一步加剧了这一问题。突袭于4月23日，没有发现所有者在场，并确认未经适当授权使用了这些机器。

However, on April 24, reporters observed a widespread presence of similar machines throughout Banglamung—including Pattaya City, Nongprue, Huai Yai, and other areas under four police jurisdictions.

然而，在4月24日，记者在整个邦德拉姆（Banglamung）中观察到类似机器的广泛存在，包括帕塔亚市，北彭（Nongprue），华伊（Nongprue），惠伊（Huai Yai）以及其他四个警察司法管辖区下的其他地区。

These machines, standing in shopping malls, gas stations, community areas, and even educational institutions, had no owners present. Some venues, like a small shopfront in Pattaya, converted the entire space into an air-conditioned arcade-style business with over 10 machines. Children and teenagers were seen playing, some arriving alone.

这些机器站在购物中心，加油站，社区地区，甚至教育机构，都没有主人在场。一些场所，例如帕塔亚（Pattaya）的小型店面，将整个空间转换为带有10多台机器的空调街机风格的业务。看到儿童和青少年玩耍，有些人独自到达。

These arcades also use promotions like free coins for social media likes and a gold necklace prize for high spending. Item values are stated, and one banner had the warning “This is not a playground. Please do not disturb other customers.” Despite these measures, minors were seen using the machines in large numbers.

这些街机还使用促销活动，例如免费硬币作为社交媒体喜欢的，以及高支出的金项链奖。陈述了项目值，一个横幅有警告：“这不是一个操场。请不要打扰其他客户。”尽管采取了这些措施，但使用大量机器看到了未成年人。

While claw machines fall under Prohibited Gambling Type B, Item 28 of the 1935 Gambling Act, which requires licensing and can carry penalties of up to 2 years in jail or a 2,000 baht fine, enforcement seems lax in Banglamung. This contrasts starkly with the swift crackdown in Nakhon Nayok, leaving residents perplexed by the apparent double standards.

尽管爪机属于禁止的B型赌博，但《 1935年赌博法》第28项需要许可，可以接受最高2年的监禁或2,000泰铢的罚款，但在邦拉明（Banglamlamung）的执法似乎宽松。这与Nakhon Nayok的迅速镇压形成鲜明对比，这使居民因明显的双重标准而感到困惑。

Now that the government has successfully removed openly sold e-cigarettes from the area, locals are calling for similar efforts to tackle these machine arcades. They are urging authorities to step in quickly and prevent potential long-term social harm among Chonburi’s youth.

既然政府已成功撤离该地区的电子烟，当地人呼吁采取类似的努力来解决这些机器街机。他们敦促当局迅速介入，并防止Chonburi青年的长期社会伤害。
