A slot making Domestic Violence a joke? Seriously?
There's a very thin line between using a game to educate and coming up with a game about a serious issue and creating it for shock value. Betsoft has accomplished the latter with their new slot The Jealous Ex. The theme is you're a man who has just had an argument with your ex-girlfriend. The slot set is a shattered dinner table surrounded with broken windows and smashed plates. The ex is armed with a baseball bat and several voodoo dolls, and her Anger Meter increases with each spin until the angrier she gets, the more features unlock.
There is nothing educational about the slot. It exists entirely for shock value. The Betsoft website has no statistics about DV in the U.S. (because the statistics would show this game is B.S.--such as the one showing 75 percent of fatal domestic violence victims are women, or that in cases where men are the victims, it's about a 50 percent chance the abuser is another man). There are no statements on the website explaining a percentage of the proceeds go to deter the problem or support victims, male or female. They literally turned a serious violent crime into for-profit shock entertainment. Why not make an Epstein Island slot in that case?
