Gambling improve lives

[rdluffy]

How can it exactly improve the lives of individual Kazakhs though? I get that more casinos means more jobs open and more taxes but what about the people that don't work in those casinos? Will the potential in government revenue from these taxes be used to fund social programs that would help the people of Kazakhstan? If it doesn't do any of that then how can gambling exactly improve lives? Do you mean by improving their chances of getting addicted. Sure, tourism will be a target for growth but how are we so sure that the locals wouldn't be hurt from it in the future?

Generally, a place that attracts tourists also generates an ecosystem where many benefit
In addition to direct casino workers, it is important to consider the increase in activity in the region, which includes:

Hotels
Restaurants
Transportation
Commerce

All these above can benefit of a place with more tourists

If I get this news correctly, they are not just handing out licences to casino owners, but they are also building government-controlled casinos across all the states. If that's correct, indeed, it will be a means to create job opportunities for their citizens and also generate revenue for the country. If the system is designed to be fair and the country is tourist-friendly, then it will be easy for them to achieve their goal.

There have being series of government goals and objectives on different projects that didn't actualise it aim in the very way it was proposed or talked about and I hope this wouldn't follow in that path. Become thing is to share about the beauty of the idea, and another is to implement it and have it hit the ground running as expected. But about how this may not create an open door for massive gambling by the locals is what and how I look forth to see the government work on. Though I doubt it won't.

One unique thing about casino that makes me happy is its ability to rob peter to pay Paul, in casino's the money we lose is what others gain but that does not take away its original value which is to generate capital to all who gets involved, i may be losing today but one thing that is sure and certain is thst one day will be my winning day. The effect of gambling on both citizens and government are of more advantages than disadvantages as it serves as a source of income to both parties. The only difference is the government do not need to get involved before generating money from it while citizens most get involved if the person wants to benefit from it but the truth of it is, its is capital generating if properly engaged in.

This country is actually making the right move by seeing gambling as a way to help boost the economy. Contrary to what others think that gambling only destroys lives, if this plan really gets realized it could actually improve lives by creating jobs.

And from the looks of it, the goal is to boost tourism, meaning the target isn’t really the locals. Their pockets won’t be the ones getting hurt, while the country still benefits from job creation and added economic activity.

Not all the times gambling gets to destroy people, only that people exploits it so much that they begin to be hurt by it and then they turn around to blame gambling for hurting them and not looking at their approach to gambling thereby making it look like the problem is with gambling and there can be no economic benefits of gambling to the nation and gamblers at large, gambling firms can be some tourist attraction, it can also give employments and that can be taxed to benefit the country in the long run, an average person may not see this aspect of gambling been able to understand its benefits thereof.

Something cannot exist if it has no benefit to the people or the government, which is why the government supports and regulates casinos to ensure they are acceptable to the people.

Gambling is legal in our country, and many platforms are even operated by the government, such as the lottery, which contributes to the government's coffers.

There was a major scandal involving online casinos several years ago. There were calls to ban online casinos, but the government opted for strict regulation because of the revenue they generate.

Gambling improves lives of those that won big and continue to gamble responsibly, the government that collects taxes from the casinos, the owners and people that works in the casinos while losers pays for everything. Having clarified that I think that the project is a good initiative for the government of Kazakhstan, they are building a gambling industry that will create jobs for their citizens and improve their economy. I hope that countries where gambling is banned aside from religious reasons should learn from Kazakhstan, and build a sector that will impact their economy and citizens positively.

in my opinion your view is partially correct but not fully acceptable. the gambling industry does provide tax revenue to governments and creates employment for some people which can bring short term positive effects to the economy. if a country like kazakhstan manages this sector in a regulated way it may increase tourism and investment. however in reality the profits from gambling remain concentrated among a limited number of people and organizations. ordinary people often suffer financial losses and in many cases develop gambling addiction. this addiction leads to family conflict debt mental stress and social problems. in the long run the cost of these social harms can exceed the revenue earned by the government. therefore gambling should not be seen as a primary tool for economic development. if a country chooses to legalize gambling it is essential to ensure strict laws responsible gambling policies and strong addiction prevention measures. otherwise society may face serious damage in exchange for short term gains.

I think the topic title is a bit misleading, since it's not necessarily the act of gambling that improve the people's lives.

This.

When people say, 'gambling destroys lives' — they are implying act of gambling itself which more often than not is indeed destructive, while what is happening in op is gambling business and it should improve the lives, just like any other business giving jobs would.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

This is good. Already, anytime we talk about the advantages of casinos, it's always pointed out that the gambling industry have it's advantage too, for example, the tax that is generated from gambling is being used for other purposes by the government and those purposes is beneficial to the citizens and improves life too. Those that have jobs with those casinos are also earning salaries and using the money to improve their life.

[Royal Cap]

Casinos actually change the course of money, money does not disappear into thin air. Some lose, some win. This place makes many people optimistic, if I lose today it means I have a chance to win tomorrow. In real discussions people often console themselves by saying this but my personal opinion is that this hope is the most dangerous aspect. The government or institution is always in profit, because they make the rules. Ordinary people have to play with risk. If used correctly, it can create capital but in reality not everyone can maintain that control.

So I think gambling should be seen as a risky entertainment rather than a source of income. If luck helps there is profit, otherwise there is loss.

well it might be true that they want to improve gambling to boost the economy and make it look contrary from what others may think about it. even though we think or hope that gambling may be contrary to what we normally feel, but we cant still forget that it will destroy life of some people while others will gain from the deserter it creates in other peoples live. that is people will need to gamble, lose and get addicted to generate money that will be taxed by government. government cant make profit or create tourism when there are no customers in the gambling industries. what i am saying in nutshell is that we cant totally eliminate or take the picture of the bad side of gambling away simply because the government want to make it lucrative. there is no pain no gain.

[Merit.s]

This is a good and will bring generate venue for the government through taxes. It will expose the country to the world because foreigners will come on vacation to the country in order to entertain themselves and experience it.

However, proper gambling sensitization should be carried out always to give awareness to the citizens on the implications of gambling and its consequences to prevent high level of addiction.

[purple_sparkles]

Gambling is essentially a form of entertainment, and entertainment is necessary for us to recharge, to feel alive, and to experience excitement. Otherwise, all striving for achievement loses its meaning if there is no room for enjoyment. For some people, this kind of entertainment suits them and they enjoy it, others are afraid of it or do not understand it. I believe that gambling is the fastest and most accessible way to get a hormonal cocktail  of adrenaline and serotonin and not lose your mind in today’s realities.

There isn't any kind of automatical shield that is preventing the locals from gambling and we very well know that gambling zones are not built in isolation, so even if the aim is at tourist, the locals will still want to gamble either due to pressure from friends, or due to financial needs or even out of curiosity and in the process end up hurting their pockets badly, by suffering huge losses maybe. That is why for me I think that the best thing for the government of Kazakhstan to do is to ensure that the gambling is properly regulated...And with proper regulations then only can they see the positive effect of gambling to the economy.

Kazakhstan is proceeding with a high-profile development plan for the establishment of new gambling zones across several of its regions, in an effort to enhance local economies and draw visitors. According to a statement by Minister of Tourism and Sports Yerbol Myrzabosynov, the government will establish controlled casino regions within Mangystau, Almaty, East Kazakhstan, and Zhetysu. This development constitutes one of the most significant shifts in the country’s policy on gaming thus far, adding new destinations to the already existing legal enclaves at Borovoye and Kapchagay, with the goal of giving a fresh boost to the national tourism sector.

When the government are actually running the leadership that precisely focus on the people and not the way others are doing, then they will be guided by every of their reactions not to allow anything that could hurt the people be their priority in budget, instead, they will be more considerate and try to convince on each other to support what the people want and also go in line to their taste of choice, am happy they are seeing gambling as a different thing entirely form what the general narratives do suggest of it.

Physical seclusion will never suffice to restrain the urge of the neighbouring dwellers who are motivated by the requirements of the economy or they are just curious of such entertainment. The only way to handle this activity to ensure that it does not include a chronic social disease is to exercise strict oversight mechanisms through official laws. The government should learn to realise that education and clear guidelines to each side will be the most effective way of prevention. We understand that it will also take time before we can see the fruits of economic gain when the popular protection system is in full swing.

[Slow death]

My country's government has been terrible in almost every area, but there is one area where they got it right, and I congratulate them on that: gambling. My country's government created a tourism revitalization plan, and in that plan, they granted tax reductions for all casinos and betting shops, and facilitated licensing and land acquisition for all companies that come to build physical casinos in my country. And it worked! Today, my country has many physical casinos and many betting shops with physical offices and online sites. This created jobs, and it led gambling companies to sponsor sports in my country.

I always like to see when officials within the government are innovative with ways to earn more and increase the revenue for the country. Identifying the gambling industry as a way to do so shows that the country is not one of those that is still affected with the mentality that most countries share concerning gambling that it is bad completely with no good expected from it. Some countries that have bad opinions on gambling and have not accepted it may not even have a clear reason as to why they have refused it, they may just be under the influence of some other country that they may see as bigger and better than their own.

for any nation that is battling with an economic issue and is hoping to devise a means of coming out of it, i do not think that setting up gambling outlet across the state does more good to that kind of nation and i say this for several reasonable reason. if you are a struggling nation, the lest of things you should be looking out for is creating an industry that helps boost the productivity of your workforce which is the youth. gambling though has it good side has the tendency of encouraging laziness especially in a country that a lot of persons are unemployed. relaxing on the regulation is a good thing but overly encouraging it as a means of boosting the economy shows that the government has no clear long term plan that can help them economically.

The realest habit of all governing bodies is the mimicking of successful individual establishments, casinos have remitted valuable profits to the government through tax and with the high numbers reading in revenues, greediness would push in the idea of building theirs and tagging it a means of helping the people. Nothing new about this development other than the hands of the government in building casinos around the nation.

[Asuspawer09]

I mean gambling casinos, the traditional one is surely not really a bad thing as what people thinks since it is still a registered on the government as a business so it is paying taxes at some point, and just like what you said it is giving jobs to people since it is going to need manpower to operate, like cashiers, managers or guards etc. one casino for sure is going to offer a lot of jobs in one area, it is also going to attract some even though i dont really agree about it that much, most of the casino are targetting foreigners and not really the locals so at some point it is attracting and boosting the tourism in an area.

The one problem and it is what happened a lot, and we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg since we are focus on the people that is getting broke or losing a huge amount, making a huge mistake on gambling, that is why it is haing such a bad image, but if all of the players are gambling responsible, dealers are going to still be happy and gamblers are still earning there might be losers for sure but there will surely be winners as well, as long as they manager there finances well gambling is not really something that is going to destroy your finances.

One more thing is that gambling casinos are mostly illegal ones, most of the time the online gambling ones, because it is just way easier to get rid of, they can scam people or take advantage of them, then easily disappea,r not to mention the rigged games, etc.
