Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?
Ya maybe culture, maybe pass-time? I think we are from the same place. I still remember in my place when iwas a child. Even housewives, when they are bored from taking care of the house and children, they will start talking, gossiping and then agree to start playing cards with bets. Some look at it as entertainment too. This world is full of places totally different from each other and everything happens under the blue sky of ours. It does not surprise me if some housewives play cards while gossiping to kill the time. But it does not mean that this deed is appreciated or respected. Gambling is played almost everywhere but it is not a healthy activity. But if someone cannot live without playing it then he or she must learn to limit numbers of bets.

My country has some gambling culture but it’s not one of the top gambling countries. I never gambled as a kid, nor I see kids in the streets gambling.
I would say rich people tend to gamble less, some of them do, of course, but it’s more a middle-lower class thing.
The classical type of gambling was playing card but nowadays you see young generations making all kinds of bets from their mobiles.
I would not say only middle and low class people gamble in general as some rich people do too as well, but it just depends on the level of gambling and where it is being done. In my country, the low and middle class actually prefer the local bet or lottery while some middle class and high class would rather do sport betting or visit big casinos to do their thing. I would not say it is becoming a culture as some still have that negative perception about it, I just see it as a means for some people to actually want to try their luck which is human but at the end, the owners of this casinos and gambling spots are the ones making the money.

If I'm looking at my country, it hasn't been seen that gambling can be said to be culture or already become like a culture, it's more directed to the other side of life of the various people in the activity it does. It's such a negative activity that people think it's a moment's pleasure and to spend some free time. Addicts with non addicts., there are still many people who are not addicted in a gambling, also a gambling's place based land., is still not so widely available, because it's still often with the police raids. But everything is not seen for a gambling in cyberspace, maybe that many people who've entered into it without being noticed by the others people.

Even though most people are aware about the negative effects of gambling, people still find it entertaining and a good activity to spend your free time.
Though these days, in terms of entertainment and spending your time, there are a lot of other things that you can spend it into like playing games offline or online even gambling is a game now. In our place, gambling is strictly prohibited that is why people who are gambling is doing ways like going to other places when there are cock fights, they call it as "tupada" though I am not really familiar with that. Gambling our place is now just legal when there are some celebrations like fiesta,when someone is dead, Christmas and New Year.

I agree on the part wherein one said that gambling has already been a part of a culture. And what do they say about culture? You can hardly change it. At best, you shall kill the race to put an end to a not-so-good culture. But you know, we no longer live in stone age whereby people get so gore by killing others just because they have differences. We now live in a world where there are laws that should put us on the right track and act accordingly with our diversity. Nevertheless, where did these laws bring us? Did it take us somewhere? Are we better today than in the past? Well, the answers to these are subjective. I just hope we all realize how crucial it is when we speak of culture.

In our country, although we cannot consider gambling as our culture, but many of our countrymen introduce it to us and we made an another version of gambling but still we cannot say it is our culture but it has a big part of our culture. If I will take a survey maybe 9 out 10 of my countrymen have a knowledge about gambling.
If you can’t say it your culture you are still fortunate enough. Governments have taken such amazing step to consider this gambling harmful and then banned it over different regions. Like you have said, these countrymen are fugitives and non-loyal who are not accepting their country’s rules and laws. We all must cater for the objections imposed by our governments.

Not just the government but also the religion opposes gambling. It is not just harmful but also a sin to be engaged in such activity. This is how gambling looks bad to many people and in our country but despite this fact, many people still managed to do it. Some do it secretly or hidden, going to casinos without anybody knowing. Some people are able to gamble without going to casinos since there are card games that can be played at home. You see, even if it is included or not included in the culture, people will still play it because they have a choice. They choose to do what other people may opposed because for them, it is a game for relaxation and for earning money.

Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?
I consider gambling is a waste of our time. Just imagine the current culture has been branded gambling is a thing that is not useful. All of it is not without reason, gambling game has destroyed the life of a person. They get addicted and eventually they lose everything they have. Gambling is a bad thing and when we've entered gambling game then we will be hard to Stop. The tremendous negative impact the gambling game brings.

It seems to me that not the games themselves are part of human culture, but the need for distraction, the need to relax from everyday life. People need specially allocated periods of time in which they can not restrain their desires. For example, in the Middle Ages such an instrument of "detente" was carnivals. Games for modern people are like medieval carnivals. While playing, people forget about time, about their duties, about problems. They are just well, they are not not responsible at this particular moment and only experience good emotions.
Distraction is a good call for it. Sometimes it can really be fun if it wants to and most especially depending on who is in the picture, but I would not see it as being part of the culture as some usually do not fancy it anyway and they would rather do other things than gamble even if it is legal. I feel it is just a personal thing and people have their own way of perceiving things and while some see it as a way to socialize, some see it in a different way.

In the old days gambling still available and many people almost gambling at the night, we even have many gambling places. But all changed when the new president come and make a new rules about gambling because there are many negative effects on gambling. Gambling is banned right now in my country and most of them that want gambling are play at online casino.

Good point, as mention we do have our owned position about every matters around us, even we live in such culture but if we do have different belief then we are not going to follow or embrace such things, though it can possibly attract the person but if he don't have the excitement then it will not do the same, same treat with gambling if we really don't like it, we will not be force in any event that we need to follow the culture playing or entertaining such activity.

At least the new President is doing an all out war against gambling. However, its really gonna hard to stop because its already part of the culture and is a billion dollar business. Many big politicians are protectors, corrupt police officers are also involved. So I don't think it can be stop. On the other hand, the government can somewhat legalized in then put heavier tax so that they can at least have something to get out of the gambling industries.

That's the problem it is hard to stop in the controlling of the politicians or anything you could simply use the money and just go with the flow. even though you are doing a small thing or a big thing, there would still be corruption going on because people are naturally selfish and wants to benefit with everything.

I think gambling is a part of culture. A part that belongs in shadow, since it's been labelled improper or has a bad reputation attached to it. But I think in a good way, it's entertaining at some point and time or course. It is highly and widely considered as a pastime, distraction of some sort and a popular entertainment. A good and sometime productive outlet for people who engage and favor such thrills and pleasure. I think it's a good social activity in moderation of course since money is considerably involved. It even arrived to the notion that gambling is livelihood to other people, it's addicting and that's the dark side of gambling. People need to control and learn to be contented to overcome gambling as a vice.

Of course there's no question that gambling is already part of our culture, specially in the South East Asia. You can find them gambling at the street corner. I guess they just wanted to be entertain, pass their time or even play just to forget all their hardship in life. Its part of our social norm already and its going to be difficult to completely eradicated. And no matter what the government, people will still find a way to gamble. I'm not saying that the government should not stop them, what I'm saying is that it will be a futile effort on their end because its part of everyone's lives and has been with us for hundreds of generation.

If total gambling ban is really on a tighter side which do impose great consequences or penalties then expect there would be no people who would gamble.There might be some numbers but not actually rampant as before.For some countries it would really be part of the culture or being part of their lives ever since on where it is already being applied on what they are doing along the way.Gambling can relieve stress but playing too much would also cause such stress too which we should really be aware of.

Gambling is indeed prohibited by the law in In my country, Indonesia. But the majority of people is playing gambling in the hidden ways from cop and laws. Rich and poor they gamble for their favorite football team or when they are all playing a card game, and also in the internet cafe, I'm pretty sure in every place there will be always some people that online gambling.

Of course gambling forms an integral part of human existence and have been with us all this while and so stopping it will be really difficult especially with the powers of the world today and all the manipulation schemes at their disposal. All of us are going to be affected when gambling is stopped and so we will all try again to fight against each other due to our respective selfish interests.

It was part of our culture and we also have that "perya" since I was a kid in our barangay and town yearly but sometimes there's a year that it was prohibited, sometimes there's a year that they allow it. The "perya" near us has been raided by CIDG few nights ago and destroy a bit of there things but the owner fixed it again and now they continue operating. It was kind of illegal but it's really part of our culture that can't be easily vanish.
So ultimately there was a culture in your country about gambling. This thing can never be removed thoroughly from any state or country because people are doing it all the times. Sometimes in form of big games and sometimes in little games of snooker and else. This has been a culture to the world. People never stop themselves completely from playing this harmful game.
