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?
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.

Once upon a time they created gambling for there entertainment I think the Spaniards create this game. Then time passes until gambling reach the year from 1960's to 1990's they already make gambling as their source of income or they are now playing because of money. Yes, gambling is culture but now they do this as one of bad part time of some of us because they lose big money because of it and this is worst than before. 
It's been rooted in the Filipino culture (of some), it can be a form of entertainment if not abused. Just like the cock fighting, it's been here in the Philippines long time ago and as part of the influence from Spanish colonizer, before people doesn't bet that big on the roosters but now, every one in the arena wants to pour their money out.
Actually those games that you saw in carnivals have their permits and I think it is regulated by the City where they would put it up. So, nothing illegal in there. It's all up to the community to decide whether they would gamble or not.

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.

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.

It seems to me that not the games themselves are part of human culture, but the need for distraction, the need to relax from everyday life. People need specially allocated periods of time in which they can not restrain their desires. For example, in the Middle Ages such an instrument of "detente" was carnivals. Games for modern people are like medieval carnivals. While playing, people forget about time, about their duties, about problems. They are just well, they are not not responsible at this particular moment and only experience good emotions.

One reason that there are negatives about gambling because its simply the quickest way to lose your money. As you have describe it, a penny to bet on "perya", so every one can go and put their hard earn money, but what happens in the end? eventually they lost everything.
I agree that its been part of our lives, traditions and culture. But still there will be a lot of people that will go against it. Remember that Philippines is dominated by Catholics, and its religion are against gambling. And even the government are targeting illegal gambling. But what happens up to know? Gambling still thrives in our society because its already engraved in the Filipino culture.

I will take it as part of classic entertainment and not as a culture eventhough it was started during the classic era*.
Why even there are negative things that gambling can brought, still many are hooked? That is because that it's not all about negative things. On the other hand, some people won and that's make gambling lives until now. If all things rotated in gambling is about losing then gambling industry will not be bloom like the current status today.
Although winning always have some room, it's obvious that gambling must not take seriously especially for an average gambler. It's depend on the gambler itself if they will allow themselves to be eaten in the negative effects of doing gambling.
That's because gambling is one of the easiest way to lose money and for the casino/game owners its the quickest way to get our money. Even in those arcade place you can still see some type of gambling I remember seeing one corner where a lot of people gathered and I was curious what they were playing until I got close and saw some kind of automated horse race.

I've tried this one before with my friends and we managed to win mostly glass/ceramic products like mugs, plates and bowl.
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.
Many people like to go into these places, especially retired people.
