Been part of out tradition on some countries which it isn't really complete if we don't see those things specially on occasions like "fiestas" where those kind of small scale gambling do exist.I do see some countries which do prohibit this but I do see most of the them do really allow this thing since it just really for the purpose of entertainment for those people who do visit or stroll into that area.
Even it is prohibited, there are exceptions when it comes into being used in it, I know that some "perya" were only allowed if that municipality permitted them, same in some wakes. Maybe it just depends on how strict the implementation since as long as people can do it without being arrested, then their fun continues.
Gambling has been around a long time and can not be destroyed and some are made as a tradition, and almost all countries ban gambling because it will get a loss and even become addicted to those who play it .. but it is difficult to ban it because gambling will always be there forever and their various ways will still gamble despite having to hide because it has become a cultural tradition of our ancestors
Gamblers will always have many ways to find that idea gambling. Gambling is not just playing casino or just rolling dice, far from that everything we guess will be made a bet. Do you hear Ludo game? in my country that  is very popular. They gamblers find a new places to serve as gambling establishments.

Gambling is not a tradition anymore, but gambling is the root of tradition. No one can afford to find a way to stop in gambling, the old way that can be replaced in a new way. Regulation and religion only as a means to awaken the gambler in a moment.
Ludo is also a dice game. Player is supposed to roll the dice and it depends on luck what number he gets from 1 to 6. Ludo is a little popular in the world I guess. I care less whether this game is a culture or root of culture but one thing is for sure, this is a useless game and an evil which can destroy the life of its player and this is all that matter is reality. One must avoid becoming part of gambler’s community.
I hate those cultures which support gambling, because gambling is a bad thing and think about the culture which support such a bad thing no matter small scale of big scale gambling is gambling, it is like time. Late is late even one minute or one hour. I think that societies should accept only their traditional things and avoid gambling in their cultures.
Gambling is no doubt a bad thing and the elders of the community dislike gamblers, because in many religions it is also prohibited. That’s why gambling is not allowed in many countries especially in Muslim countries. When something is bad why community would give permission, besides many people gamble today but not openly. This is my culture.
I am with you in this elder point of yours, indeed they don’t look at gamblers with respect and think they are not men of principles. Honestly, there is some valid point in this way of thinking but at times, old people not only condemn but hate them too. Gambling is a game which has harmful effects on player and his close ones. It destroys a person financially as well as mentally and emotionally.

I think gambling has been born tgether with humanity. Even in history, in stories about the past, bettng has been used by people in the past. Like i read somewhere about tossing coins. You bet in which side of the coin by tossing it upward.
That culture is killing us if we did not control ourselves, although I spend what I can afford to lose but gambling all the time
will only result to a bigger loses. Sometimes I regret to quit but I just cannot just totally quit, it seems like there is inside of me that is looking
this kind of risky way of having fun.
Even if someone spends a little amount in gambling like you do but would not it be better to even not waste small amounts? Every drop matters in the river. All big things are made from small particles. So instead of wasting these pennies in gambling, saving it or investing in some good business or digital coins is a far better. One should never show ignorance regarding money.

I agree with you especially those that don't know what they are actually doing in gambling to just desist from it and stay clear away from it and save those pennies  for something worthwhile but if you have some gambling skills especially in sports betting then i will urge you on because you can make good profits if you stay disciplined.

So as I. believe me this gambling is just a wrecked thing that must be prohibited at government level. All the governments must be banning this as they have banned bitcoins. They are so strange, instead of banning gambling that is harmful for everyone, they are focusing on the ban on bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. They must know that gambling is killing the glamour of any culture.

I think Gambling tends to bring with it some of the negative aspects of life, including drinking, arguments and substance abuse. However, these things only occur if you are in with the wrong circles, or playing at the wrong venues. Playing online tends to get rid of the physical downsides, but can lead to an addiction as its simply so easy to access and play whenever you want. I think the culture can be great if you take the right path, but more often than not it's not a great culture to be part of.
Yup, together with gambling comes other vices like the one you have mentioned. Well you are already involving yourself in the wrong circles if you are into gambling so it doesn't change anything. The only way is to stick with people who don't have gambling habits so that you can overcome your addiction.

But as for online gaming, for me its easier to get hook on it because you just simply needed a internet connection and you can play anytime you want. So no difference whether its online gambling or physical gambling. So if you are in a culture wherein gambling is accepted in the society, sooner or later you will be suckered into the system and its really hard to get out.

Talking about culture aspects of gambling we cant but mention the key principle (the forgotten one imo) that is player versus player. Casino is more like a legal burglar. If you agree, please get acquainted with this project, u may sure love it
O brother why you are involving others in this harmful game. You should be ashamed of this act. Don’t you know how bad this gambling is? How immensely this gambling is affecting people’s life in a wrong context? Think about this and you will be getting the real answer. And I hope after that one finding, you might be thinking of quitting this gambling thing because this really kills us financially.

In my country gambling is forbidden, unless if it's the church who is promoting the game, then it's allowed. It's very common to see saints' festivals with gambling involved (bingo), usually paying the prizes in products (electronics, meat, wine, candies, vounchers, etc...).

But on the illegal sphere, there are casinos operating inside apartments and houses and these casinos pay the prizes in cash, not products.  Cheesy
Many people like to go into these places, especially retired people.

I just want to make it clear first that it is not judgement its just that it is sounds weird to me that the government forbid gambling while your church allowing it occassionally. I don’t know, maybe because in my country it is vice versa or maybe it depends on religion. Mostly catholics belief that gambling is form of a sin and that is the reason why the church is not in favor in gambling.

When someone talks about banning of bitcoins from governments, I really oppose that matter because governments must think of the positive and immense effect of bitcoins over the economic health of country. But when it comes to gambling and banning from governments, I must appreciate this act of government because here they are well aware of the risks and damages related with this gambling.
In my opinion all the cultures of the world should be clean from gamblings, because many people in the world hate gambling societies and cultures. People like me will think that it is a bad culture that promotes gambling or accept gambling as their cultural tradition. Inheritance should be something more valuable and it should not be gambling.

That is impossible, gambling culture is existing for las hundred thousand of years are will continue for ever, in act with the creating of crytpo currency it give a new life to gambling, because it make it more easy for the people to play gambling online. I think that as time pass online gambling will continue increasing and more people will enter in the world of gambling.

Of course, that's why we can talk about the culture of gambling.
Do you remember those days when you were a child and somebody was daring you to do things? I bet you won't jump over this fence Smiley That's how it all starts, even children are inclined to gamble, they do many of these things naturally. When they're older they start betting money with friends, organizing competitions, playing games for money. You can't fight gambling!

Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?

Actually every citizenship  in every country have a different culture ,and this all things happen its already  included in your discussion,like  those rich people often socialize in the form of casino,while those poor people only in country games with lower bets, and the new technology now is betting in the form of digital currency betting,otherwise all of this  we inherited from our different ancestor and this gambling games happen is part of recreation or relaxiation  of a person,to free fromm stress or worry of your appointment obligation,therefore gambling culture is part of daily lives of the people even in the next generation,its still existing and cannot be diminished.

The only reason I can think of is because it became part of our past time. Some watch movies, sports or anything related but some want to spend it on gambling. It gives you excitement and there's money and you can socialize too.

Well, that is one of the most worse pastime you could ever have. I do have my own ways just to kill some time but not like gambling, gambling itself is avoidable if you don't to have any problem about losing your money, you might win but not always. Gambling is not a culture, it is a habit, and we have a choice if we wanted to do it or not.
I agree, that it's more of a habit than culture, but if you look at certain Asian countries, like Japan or China, it could be part of their culture. They were playing games like Mahjong for money for a long time and many people live in the game houses. They spend so much time there that they eat and drink at the game tables and go home only to get some sleep.

Punishing the gun instead of the shooter won’t end criminality in this world. Governments are not banning bitcoin due to any adverse effects rather they can’t bear this fact that bitcoin is liberating its holders economically from the claws of all those who enjoy high powers in a state. No matter how hard they try, they can’t stop bitcoin from prosperity because internet is unruly and free bird.

I think gambling is not a culture maybe some people are need to gamble to get an easy money. Maybe that gambling houses called perya are enjoy to play that why every fiesta they have that.

it is better to enjoy the games without thinking about the winning or losses so we can get fun with our friends. I think gambling relate to culture because in one country if there is any ceremony then in the night, they often to play the card, some of them use money just to get the fun. I see this on the television so I think maybe in another country, this is happening.
It is true that we should enjoy gambling but as humans we tend to think of the benefits that we will have and that's just how we want it, to win. Probably those people that have rituals because they believed in it that it will work or something for me I don't have those kind of things.
