No “SEX” in any gambling games in Australian Poker. Australian government has become too touchy about nudity in any poker game. Recently, a department of Australian government namely, Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification Board (OFLC) has objected and also rejected a new Poker game to be titled as “Sexy Poker“. This game is played in a WiWare platform and is the newest product of Nintendo.
Sexy Poker – what’s so obscene about it?
In the game of Sexy Poker, whenever a player wins a hand, the female opponents take off their clothes. Oops! Frankly speaking I didn’t know that! My general awareness has become so poor.
Sexy Poker game is based on the idea of Strip Poker. In strip pokers, the objects of bet are the clothes. Similarly, Sexy Poker has 6 female opponents. While you progress in this game by winning, you will see reduced clothes of your opponents.
Why is Sexy Poker banned in Australia?
Australian government has said that such nudity is a strict NO, NO in Australia. According to Australian OFLC Board, any kind of nudity shown as a part of the reward or incentive is strictly prohibited in all sorts of computer games. Board said that the current Poker called “Sexy Poker” doesn’t comply with the highest classification norms for games viewing, i.e. MA15+ in Australia.
Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification Board statement:
In the Board’s view Sexy Poker offers depictions of nudity as an incentive or reward to interactive game play. In the Board’s view, the general rule in the Guidelines for the Classification of Films and Computer Games prohibiting depictions of nudity as an incentive or reward, applies to the game play described above, as the player is shown increasingly detailed amounts of nudity following successful game-play
In the view of the Board, the impact of the game exceeds strong as except in material restricted to adults, nudity and sexual activity must not be related to incentives or rewards. As such the game cannot be accommodated in a MA15+ classification.
What is the status of Sexy Poker in other parts of the world?
Sexy Poker has been approved by the countries of European and Nintendo, the gaming giant, is preparing itself to launch the game soon.
