Online games put on "gambling" stealth cloak players hit the money to gamble luck

An online game with a gambling nature of the lottery system.　　Want a good mask?　　Need a good outfit?　　You want a good magic weapon?　　...... This is a reporter recently browsing a large-scale online game forum, see a post. "Lottery", "Mixer", "Demon", "blood" is a common game in the network game form.　　And almost every time the game, players will enter the network game operators created Virtual Casino. The hidden gambling phenomenon in the network game has been criticized, the State also promulgated relevant regulations on the online games industry norms.　　But the reporter through the investigation found that some domestic network games are still full of a large number of games with the nature of the game link and content, and the important reason for this situation and online games management related laws, regulations are not sound unrelated. The design of the equipment forging system in the "recessive gambling" game is like a lottery game.　　If you want to improve the success rate of equipment forging, you need to pay to buy game props. Jiang, who has played more than two years of online games, spends more than 1000 dollars a month on the game. "If you want to play well, you have to buy props and forging gear, which costs money." "Jiang often play is a popular among users of the domestic network fantasy games (a myth background, but also fantasy color, there are martial arts people, and the type of game science fiction concept)." The characters in the game clothing, weapons and other equipment need to be upgraded through the forging system to meet the players ' game requirements. Jiang told reporters that the game of equipment forging system design is like a lottery game.　　If you want to improve the success rate of equipment forging, you need to pay for lottery and buy game props. In order to complete the task, the player will pay to buy the game card, the points of which are exchanged into ' Silver piece ' (Virtual currency in the game), and then use ' silver piece ' to buy special game props, improve the success rate of equipment forging. Jiang said, if the player is unlucky, forging a piece of equipment may be worth dozens of yuan or even hundreds of items. "The process of equipment forging, no need to have a person's game skills, the main is to spend money and luck until success." "The reporter has personally experienced a famous fantasy martial arts game in China." In order to forge a game of the sword, a value of 30 yuan game point card in less than 10 minutes, will be consumed.　　and the sword that the journalist gets in the game is just rubbish equipment. This is a surprisingly lucrative gray area. The game links with recessive gambling are all controlled by the network company. A top management at a network gaming company has revealed to the media that "many gamers are lucky enough to have good luck and better equipment." In fact, network companies control the ' luck ' of the winning rate, the specialized data analyst will use the technology to minimize the winning rate, players rarely have a winner.　　"Three forms" of hidden gambling in online games, in addition to the way to build equipment classes, but also includes virtual casinos and betting two categories. Reporters inThe survey found that the hidden gambling in online games, in addition to the Jiang mentioned the way to build equipment, but also include virtual casinos and betting two categories. "Virtual Casino class" refers to the game operators directly provide betting on the size, mahjong, Solitaire and other game programs and network services, players through the purchase of game cards or other means to obtain the virtual currency, and as a gambling and other players online game win. At this time, the game operators just as virtual casino boss, for the players to provide venues and gambling, sitting for the benefit of the fisherman.　　Many people are familiar with the "21 points", "Tie the Golden Flower", "Dou the Landlord" and so on, are similar game activities.　　"Gaming" is similar to what Jiang mentioned as a device-like game, but the game is played by online game operators joining some sort of slot machine or lottery game. "These three forms are the most common hidden gambling in online games." It is difficult for us to follow the current law on gambling, regulation and governance, the reason is that the network game operators in the game, does not directly provide virtual goods and real money trading system, online games hidden gambling links do not seem to have complete cash flow, just a money to play the video game. Beijing Xicheng District prosecutors to the reporter analysis, due to the game of the goods themselves, many players are in private or a third party in the virtual equipment of the renminbi transactions. This is also a manifestation of the real harm caused by hidden gambling in online games. "That's not possible for a network game operator to see. The reason why they keep updating and follow the form of recessive gambling in online games is the most fundamental reason is the interest. Behind these games, operators are the biggest makers. Players play games with each other, and operators sell game props and center profit by offering gaming programs.　　"Financial crimes" according to Beijing Xicheng District Procuratorate statistics show that in recent years because of playing online games and other causes of robbery, theft and other financial-related crimes accounted for 5% of the total number of minors crime, Internet cafes and surrounding areas are young people involved in the wealth of crime of high hair lot. This is Beijing Xicheng District Procuratorate handled by playing online games to induce crime cases. One morning, 16-year-old Song Lei (a pseudonym) and his girlfriend played online games in an Internet café in Xicheng District, Beijing. In order to help the girlfriend to build game equipment, Song Lei all the cash to carry all purchased the game point card, in exchange for the game in the forging props, participate in similar to the lottery lottery equipment forging game. But the money spent, Song Lei and his girlfriend still did not create a satisfactory game equipment.　　In order to be able to continue the "game", Song Lei has robbed the king and Lee a value of more than 2000 yuan of property, the final robbery by the court sentenced to 06 months imprisonment.　　The Chinese Youth Network Association released the "Chinese Youth Internet Addiction Data Report," showed that adolescents with internet addiction patients addicted to chat, the proportion of friends are close to 50%, the proportion of the number of people participating in online games is more than 40%. A survey of Internet addiction behaviors among students of large and middle schools in Heilongjiang provinceShows that 75.4% of teenagers in the province who are addicted to internet addiction have access to online games, and that they have used money, tokens or other items as bets to participate in similar gambling activities. Since online game operators tend to attach gambling games to legally operated online games, many parents are unaware that their children are playing games and are unaware that they are participating in gambling activities, resulting in a lack of family regulation. "What is more frightening is that most of the teenagers who play online games do not have an independent economic source, and they need huge economic input to participate in these online gambling games." The temptation of advanced game equipment and the psychological control of gamblers, for a game point card theft, robbery and then embark on the road of crime are everywhere. "The prosecutor who handled the Song Lei case told reporters according to the statistics of the Minors ' crime cases in the district, it shows that in recent years, because of playing online games, such as robbery, theft and other financial-related crimes accounted for about 5% of the total number of minor crimes, Internet cafes and surrounding areas are the youth-related crime of high fat lot.　　According to incomplete statistics, the area of juvenile crime groups in the criminal proceeds of the money for online games and other consumption of more than 30%. "Standard vacancy" many online games in the beginning of operation, there is no gambling link.　　Game operators often in the course of the operation through the process of upgrading, adding a gambling component to circumvent the review process. Reporter in the interview learned that the existence of hidden gambling in the online game, in addition to the criminal law, "the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate on the specific application of the law on gambling criminal cases," the relevant provisions, the State press and publication Administration in January 2005 issued the "　　On the prohibition of the use of online games to engage in gambling activities of the notice, the Ministry of Public Security and other four committees issued on February 25, 2007, the "severe crackdown on gambling with the use of online games," the document, further explicit requirements to standardize the online gaming industry business behavior. "On the prohibition of the use of online games to engage in gambling activities of the notice" and "severely combat the use of online gaming gambling," and other documents issued, although there are some hidden gambling network games were closed, but the overall governance effect is not very ideal. The reason is that the contents of the two ' documents ' are more general, not pertinence, and lack of enforceability.　　"Xicheng District Procuratorate's prosecutors suggest that the relevant departments shall, in the form of laws and administrative regulations, formulate and promulgate the normative documents of pertinence and operability as soon as possible, in order to further define the legal nature and the sanction way of the recessive gambling in the network game, and provide the clear legal basis for the governance and the fight against the network gambling behavior. Xicheng District Procuratorate Prosecutors believe that many online games in the beginning of operation, there is no gambling link. Game operators often in the course of the operation through the process of upgrading, adding a gambling component to circumvent the review process. Therefore, "relevant departments in addition to focus on the game before the contents of the audit, but also should further increase the operation of the Network game review, supervision, the game operators who have illegal problems should be dealt with seriously according to law. "Multi-pronged" how to define the online game hidden gambling standards are not very clear, many games hidden mystery is difficult to bring to justice.　　Therefore, for the network game recessive gambling standard, the scope, the gambling form, should have a clear stipulation from the profit purpose, the time and the space. For the hidden gambling problem of online games, a senior game player told reporters, "The domestic network game developers may draw on foreign excellent online game operating mode, such as the current world's first online games of Warcraft, fundamentally eliminate the existence of hidden gambling." Because all the advanced equipment in the game is tied to the character, the player cannot trade. In addition, all game equipment needs to match with each other, complete the task to be able to obtain, the equipment performance enhancement also through the player training various professions skill realization. There is no gambling ingredient in the whole process. The game relies on excellent story design, excellent control and professional coordination to win a large number of players. "Liu, director of the Network Law Research Center of Beijing and Beijing, said in an interview that standardizing the operation of the online gaming industry, preventing the occurrence of hidden gambling, and taking measures such as technical precautions and judicial strikes, should be perfected as soon as possible from the following aspects: first of all, How to define the hidden gambling standards of online games is not very clear, many games hidden mystery is difficult to bring to justice. Therefore, for the network game recessive gambling standard, the scope, the gambling form, should have a clear stipulation from the profit purpose, the time and the space. Secondly, with the increase of the recessive gambling gambling of the network game, the increase of the number of participants and the influence of the criminal law should increase the punishment, it is necessary to increase the sentencing intensity and increase the length of sentencing time to deter criminals. Third, the communications authorities should improve the regulation of Internet operating services units, timely detection and closure of the problem site, to investigate and deal with the problem site to provide telecommunications services operators; Network service providers should strengthen the site management, prohibit the provision of gambling site access services. In the process of gambling circulation, the relevant financial departments also have the responsibility to regulate the abnormal flow of large funds.
