In my countries, that happens too because many people gather in that house while doing many things including playing card with friends who are in there. That perhaps is a tradition that still exist in some city but that is not all of them and only those who still want to do that. But here, gambling is prohibit and if police know about that, they will ask them to stop and not continue playing card.
I just playing gambling occasionally and not too intensive as I only playing gambling in online casino. I don't use gambling to escape from stress of the real world because that can attracts me to spends longer and more money. That will not good for me because that can gives more stresses especially when I lose all of that money.

The custom in my area is also like that, if someone dies but already has grandchildren, then people will not be sad anymore for him, but instead they will drink and have fun like playing cards or dominoes to entertain the bereaved family. Because we realize that people who already have grandchildren can be said to be perfect in their lives, and people should not cry for them, instead people should be happy at their funeral. Indeed, for some people this is quite strange, but that's why sometimes gambling can be a consolation for those who are stressed.
I don't know why country you are from but it will be such a huge culture shock of I attended a funeral in your country and saw that gambling is a side attraction. Anyone who tries that at my funeral would received a very hard knock by my ghost for taking advantage of such a solemn event to get some pleasure.
Those who use gambling as an escapism from the real world and their own problems would soon find out that it is self-deception. You don't run away from your problems you face it head on. After having the thrills of pleasure from gambling, you'll return home to find your problem on the couch waiting for you.
Those who use gambling to burn off steam like stress from work or just relax are the people I support. And especially if they do it responsibly.

We all associate gambling with fun, excitement, and enjoyment
There is a reason why casinos are brightly lit and has fast paced music. The overall idea of gambling should be energetic and exhilarating. Well, in my country, you might find gambling in a less thrilling environment such as a funeral.
Yes, it is very common in my country that whenever there is a funeral there will be people playing cards and gambling against each other.
I don’t know if this is common in other countries but I never really thought twice of the fact that gambling, which is usually associated with time for pleasure, can be found in a place that is so grievous.
I researched just now and found that some gamblers do in fact use gambling as a form of escape from their real life. Which is why you might find a lot of people just recently went through a divorce or death of a loved one gambling. I guess this is why there are always people gambling in funerals. Obviously over time I think it just became more of a tradition rather than an actual act of escape from mourning.
Personally I don’t think it’s a good idea to use gambling as a coping mechanism especially that your emotions will be the one driving your decisions and that almost never end well. It’s fine sometimes but I find that dealing with your emotions especially negative ones can be much helpful than turning into potentially harmful vices.
But What about you? Do you also use gambling to escape from stress of the real world?
