For me, yes it can be considered as addiction to gambling if you're thinking about it while sleeping. I think addiction is already apparent if it interferes with your daily routine and what you should be doing in life compared to gambling all the time. Keep in mind, if luck doesn't turn in your favor, you are losing not just money but your time as well. In terms of strategy, like everything in life there should be balance. It would be hard at first but accepting that gambling is a game of luck should truly wake you up and hopefully make you a "responsible" player of online gambling.

Gambling is already for entertainment and that's enough for you to have fun so I also don't think the reason for looking on a sexy girl or what while playing on a casinos, you can discretely do this on those bar. Though some gambler might find this interesting, but I doubt casinos will ever do this, this is not their business and against the regulations for sure.

I was thinking that many countries are reluctant to legalise certain activities such as gambling, prostitution, smoking, ... and, apart from countries that have strong social and religious restrictions (I refer to those as the death-by-boredom countries) others simply consider than the state should not profit or allow activities that are considered diminishing for the workers or that may harm their health and personal relations (it must be difficult to be an addict to gambling or a prostitute and have a normal life).

However, other countries simply set high taxes to these activities, which I think is a false morality, as if by paying these activities can be less questionable. (Note: I personally do not question regulated gambling).

I got the idea of a striptease bar with gambling elements: you look at the striptease of sexy girls, but in the end they turn out to be not girls at all   And it's good if this does not happen at the stage of a private dance  
By the way, I'm sure such an establishment will be very popular among some "progressive" communities.

Yes, online casinos appeared long before the pandemic but at that time, crypto online gambling is not too popular as these two years, especially when the pandemic starts in every country. So when the government asks their citizen to stay at home and work from home, those people will have more time to do many things, including playing gambling. That makes almost every online things become popular and online gambling gets more visitors because people come to their website because of the advertisement everywhere.

I am not experienced in this, so I can not assume any specific things about the motivation of drug addicts  But it seems to me that this is relevant for beginners who experiment and try different things and their combinations. An experienced addict (from gambling or from drugs) knows exactly what he wants and it is unlikely that this is a visit to the casino (if he is addicted to drugs).

What's stopping you from smoking weeds before visiting a casino or smoking at home and playing online? In my opinion, mixing different pleasures is a dubious idea, especially in this case - gambling gives adrenaline, and smoking weed relaxes. Thus, you will receive not an increase in sensations, but a weakening.

Yes, compared to other games, the design and layout of Axie Infinity are not that great and I doubt it will get the interest of other people if it has no play-to-earn feature. But because of its gameplay especially the feature to earn real money, it hooked those people even with no knowledge at all to crypto and those who aren't interested in playing an online game.

Only gamers will be hooked on those usual games, as they should be. But for other people to get involved, they need a big reason why should they play a certain game, and mostly, they want a profitable game on which these blockchain games made possible.

Actually, this pandemic gives that gambler privilege to play online gambling, especially for those who try to make money from gambling. But the problem is how they can manage their time not playing gambling all day long because they should remember that we need to be more active and search for other jobs that can help us make money. Hopefully, we always remember that we need that money and need to get new jobs and always prevent the addiction that can come to us anytime.

I know that and I am not trying to say that casinos can cure depression, what I was trying to say is that depressed people find ways to have some sort of rush felt inside them and at the same time have self destructive behavior and gambling can cater both am I right?

Dude, you are seeing it one sided for depression. Not everyone who has a depression loses interest in things, some don't even show they're depressed. That's why I said that it's like a depression and addiction combination. Gambling gives a sudden rush and depressed people always wants to find a way for them to get that rush.
