THERE'S been a new Wishing Well, Wishing Well 2, for the past few days. This one doesn't give you as much of a chance to make Kinzcash. Now there are only three rows of three; the figures "bob up" from under the water of the well. If you get two or three matches in the center row, the score triples. If you get three Wishing Wells in that center row, you have your choice of lots of Kinzcash or an exclusive item.
I noticed this one day when I was reading in the Parents Area, under the question "Are the Wheel of WOW and the Wishing Well gambling?"
Webkinz does not endorse, nor condone gambling. Webkinz does not contain ANY gambling. Gambling requires that a player put in a wager to play, and hence have the chance to lose that wager. Webkinz members can not lose KinzCash playing any of our games. There are no wagers involved at all.I guess they finally bowed to the pressure about the slot machine aspect of the original Wishing Well.
While the Wishing Well and Wheel of WOW use visual metaphors that are sometimes associated with gambling, there is no gambling involved. They are merely a method of giving out random prizes to our members. They are our version of giving out a door prize, a thank you just for showing up. As kids love getting free prizes, naturally these features are highly popular on our site.
