For sure, banning gambling is not really the perfect way to do it and definitely not going to stop all of it, but this different games idea was not something made because there are a lot of gambling addicts usually this games have different kinds of origins or something, usually coming from different countries and originating there.
I mean, I personally see a lot of gamblers getting creative in a way, just to find a way to gamble or to lose that addictive feeling, usually doing other things, including this kind of card games, it doesn't necessarily need to involve money most of the time. We play a lot of card games usually here in my country in every different occasions, might involved money but usually very low were you could still enjoy even if you win or lose.
I believe that a person’s life should include some form of game it adds a layer of interest, challenges you to think strategically to outplay an opponent, and brings fun, excitement, and a spirit of competition. I can’t imagine my life without games; I started with computer games, then spent a long time playing poker which I truly enjoyed, even though I didn’t quite reach the goals I had set for myself. Of course, one must maintain a sensible balance so that it doesn’t negatively impact one’s daily life. I do have ideas, but I lack the resources to bring them to fruition, for now, I’d rather just remain a player and enjoy the experience.
