Have you been there or thought of creating an offline game out of your ideal?

Some people had been so addicted to gambling that even when the gambling is being legally prohibited, they'd always find other means creating alternative to gamble. Especially offline gaming such that'll be logically competitive for players.
I've learnt about some local games being developed discovered through similar means. Some guys are so addicted in gambling that government can't entirely stop gambling. Creative ideal gamblers will always find means to create and introduce one to his close friends and relatives which game is only played and understood within the cycle. If so much interesting like that others can still adopt it and this is just how some offline games like the cards, dice and the chess, etc are invented.

There are lots of alternatives. A quite common one where I live is bingo game, usually played by old ladies or in parties which aim gathering money for a major cause. I also used to play bingo game with family members, betting little amounts of money. Depending the frequency of the game sessions, it can raise undesired attention from authorities, who may claim it's a clandestine activity and then punish the involved individuals accordingly.

I have always said people will always find ways to gamble,.regardless gambling being legal in their countries or not. Specially if we are talking about people who are severely addicted to gambling.

It reminds me some story which was shared by a guy here on the forum about how people in his town actually manage to gamble without going against the prohibition of their government. People paid a fee in order to enter a fishing competition, whoever managed to fish the biggest fish from a pond, was granted a big cash prize.

It is a form of gambling, which is not directly recognized as such by the government, so it is a loophole.

It is a good example of the phenomenon you talk about here.
