out of 100 gamblers maybe only 10 or 15 wins, the rest, of course, lose. but the gambling business has created employment and income for the state which welcomes casinos. gambling will not disappear, in the future, it will increasingly evolve by utilizing new technology.
No problem with casinos providing employment for thousands of people, paying taxes, etc. They can afford that because they are making a lot of money in their business. That simply means they are earning out of this.
The problem is when people enter the casino thinking that they will make it their milking cow or that they will come out from it with profit. That is a myth.
Employment and taxes are probably the best things that casinos can do for the country but the negative side of it is that, there are many people losing money every day because of gambling.
And not only that. In the deeper analysis, gambling gives false hope to a lot of people. If somebody buys a lottery ticket or gets into the casino hoping that he will make money out of it, that is a false hope. If somebody who is poor but always sets aside a certain amount for gambling thinking that he will be lucky and would earn at least an additional income for his family, that is a false hope. If somebody going through a lot of hardships dreams of someday winning the jackpot and earns a better life, that is a false hope. These are also provided by gambling casinos aside from jobs and taxes.
