Playing Dice - For Children

Question

Is it permissible to allow children to play games (like bottle caps, gogos, etc.) where they truly win and lose?

Answer

Hello,

If they are playing with simple items as mentioned in the question, it is permitted.

Because there is a full intention to transfer ownership, and it is not considered an asmachta.
