What is gambling to you, a fanfare or potential financial havoc?

[satscraper]

"a fanfare or potential financial havoc?" - neither of them. Purely for  me , the gambling at local casino is routine things to do with the option to have drinks, to have a chat with my friends who frequently visit its gambling pits, to  get  some extra money to my pockets. Sometimes the aftermath of this kind of routine were not as expected but I see this as kind of overhead encountered virtually in any human activity.
