I'd say there is a gambling culture in every country, some countries like to bet on soccer and some for basketball. And other countries like the Philippines, cock fighting is a big thing. It changes drastically with every culture and it depends on history. There are even games that are so weird to us that we don't even know they exist. Just by searching the internet about weird gambling games you'll see that there are so many kinds of gambling games aside from the casinos we all know and love.

Gambling is everywhere it can also be consider as culture but you must not forget about the negative impact of that. Culture is something like we live ever since and gambling is one of that thing. For me this is kind of bad habit because many people are now broke because of this game that can make you more greedy.

In some places its already part of a culture, gambling works for them well because they become more happy at a low cost but if you do this as your habit since everywhere you can find people gambling then you are in risk. For its a culture yes, but it doesn’t mean you will do it everyday the decision is still yours do the right thing.

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?

Ofcourse gambling is a part of a culture, there are huge museums about Texas Holde'm poker in the USA.
I can say that gambling has been a strong part of the culture of some cards, for an example we can see the USA, that has a large city that is being driven by gambling only, Las Vegas wouldn't exist if gambling was disallowed, same goes for cities like Monaco.

Gambling was started to take a place long years ago, and our whole life is being impacted by this, it's really ironic that even after thousends of years we are unable to decide whether gambling is good or not, or shall we accept it or not.

Honestly, It is true that the popularity of gambling has evolved over time and it has become a culture in many countries. As well, I see that many feel happy when they playing at the casino and online games, even if they lose their money.
Actually, the culture of gambling is not so prevalent in my country, just the majority of gamblers is playing in sports betting especially the field of Football. and it is unfortunate that the real casinos are very few Sad

It is the same in my country, what ever the event is, there is always this gambling. I think this was been added to at least entertain audience. Though our government does not allow street gambling, they were excused if there is fiesta or occasion around. So I guess yes, gambling had been rooted in our country's culture too.

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.

This is why gambling can be considered to be part of the culture into those countries or places that doesn't implement too much restriction when it comes to gambling.Yes, there are really exceptions when it comes to some circumstances.If you are living on a place where gambling is illegal then you cant really see these kind of gambling places because there would really be punishment once being caught up.

I remember 3 years ago I lost about $100 playing that Card thing in "perya" I was winning at first and was so happy and got greedy so what happened was I visit the perya every night to play that game and then losses keep coming. I was eager to win back the money so I bet and bet and lose more. I was able to control myself though after realizing that I already lose a lot. The next year after that one I was near in the perya again, I wanted to watch the game and try to bet little amount but told myself not to because I know what will happen next.. Learned my lesson the hard way Grin

One of the reasons why we do keep on coming back into these kind of places which called perya is on which we do really like to feel the ambiance of having lots of people who do play gambling in the same time.Just like on casinos too but this place is way more non-formal but yet more enjoyable since you can able to place minimal bets.Even though we are just talking about small time gambling but anytime it can really make you broke if you spend too much.

this time i do agreed to consider gambling as culture of our life because although people says gambling is negative things and could bring you to ruin yourself even ruin your families but although people already know the risk of gambling they will still gambling because gambling already being part of our life even those before us

People do not understand that if you have a control on yourself then you can gamble because after certain point if you losing you will quit but majority of them do not have that control and thus ruin their life by keep losing and then borrowing from other or go in a big debt of gambling.

My country have one of the oldest culture, and yes gambling is one of the part of it. Dice is a game which was very much popular, and that can found in the ancient scripture as well. But in the present situation government has strictly prohibited any kind of gambling.So gambling is now a illegal activity here, thus you can't find any kind of land based casino in the whole country.

We also have one month long festival where gambling (card games) plays significant role and also when people gather after a long time or when they gather for some social function they sit somewhere in groups and start to gamble on cards.

Casinos are banned here but card games are hard to ban as most of the people gamble cards in their own home with friends.

First I thought that I couldn't think of one example where it would be a part in our culture, but I was wrong.
A lot of people here do go out to play card games in the weekend, it's usually for small amounts of money. Not even poker, games like bridge of something called whist.

The amount of money we're talking about usually isn't more than a couple of euros, still gambling though.

I don't think it's weird at all. It's just like you said, gambling is deeply connected to culture, and we know that because gambling has been with man from several generations, and affects all ages. We do see children playing with coins, or cards, or marbles, and they gamble it. It's not money, but it's still gambling. To be honest I think it's deeply connected to man in a behavioral manner, and not just culture, because all cultures have different types of gambling, so it's something that will always exist. It will probably assume different forms though ages, depending on culture, but gambling will always exist because man needs to gamble. It's part of his natural being.

My country has some gambling culture but it’s not one of the top gambling countries. I never gambled as a kid, nor I see kids in the streets gambling.

I would say rich people tend to gamble less, some of them do, of course, but it’s more a middle-lower class thing.

The classical type of gambling was playing card but nowadays you see young generations making all kinds of bets from their mobiles.

I see UK are the most friendly place to gamble , there a lot of gambling company especially sports betting considering they have the best league in the world and a fanatic supporters there. Government clearly aware about how destructive this industry if there's no proper regulation , they do regulates it and nothing to worry but controlling ourself and of course educate the generation after you about how you should be responsible in case you want to gamble.

I think it is not weird because it depends on what culture in each country and people don't think that this is weird too. maybe in out there, which gambling is allowed, you can often see this in every place but in another country, you will not see this because gambling is prohibited in that country. in my country, which gambling is prohibited, I cannot see any gambling games and I think they are playing the games by secretly without any police can know. I don't even know what is perya like you said because I am not too often to playing gambling.

Nowadays "perya" only exist with some barrios as it was a part of their culture, the municipality allowed inside their small town to have some sort of enjoyment, and basically people around that place will gather and play different kinds of gambling, the owner of this so called small gambling business
will offer many games to choose and it will last for some weeks or months, yeah I guess its been a part of a culture and we still enjoy dealing with it.

I really think so, especially in asian country which gambling influence is very wide. The idea of "one time, big time" is something that makes gambling interesting to the eye of many people added to the fact that there are really millionaires out of gambling industry. Even young ones know how to gamble, from a simple betting and dice game, now the online games are also influence by gambling.

Yes, it is very tempting to bet a huge money to become rich faster but the fact is it is not so easy for everyone to win unless you're very lucky.

That is a drawback of crypto gambling because everyone can gamble regardless of their age online with cryptos. Kids may not be knowing the impact of this gambling habit in the long run once they addict to these games.
