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.

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 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.
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 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's true that gambling is part of our culture. I mean, since early times we have been involved in betting, games of chance and competition. It's human nature to want to turn adversity into opportunity.
I actually read a book recently called the Ascent of Man, and it describes how even ancient man, before written language was invented used to gamble food stocks with neighboring tribes based on the outcomes of seemingly trivial events. It just goes to show that it's in our nature to wager what we have, in order to gain something more.
This is still prevalent in modern society, particularly in certain cultures like Eastern Europe and Russia, two gambling hot spots. I think it has something to do with risk reward mentality, some peoples brains don't process it in the same way others do. For example, I am quite risk averse so I only gamble when I am almost certain to win, whilst others might gamble with only a small chance to win, if the payoff is high enough (e.g. Lottery players).
Gambling is part of the human condition.

Customs are a custom in society. Customs are part of the culture. people who often gamble because they are accustomed, often do, and often benefit, so almost as gamble with culture is formed because of a continuous habit. The gambling and culture I think it is related, because the gambling had such a culture in the people who are already in considers as part of their lives, in all the country in a variety of the of rich until the poor surely they are gambled than gambled small to gambled millions of
Gambling has been around even before society learned to be civilized. A lot of culture have their own forms of gambling probably same as having their own beliefs and religion. So yeah with the evolution of civilization, gambling has always been a part of it
Gambling is not a culture I guess, because the culture is something that we could be proud of, and gambling is not included because of its bad reputation. Maybe it is just a habit that we inherited to our ancestors from a very long time but it will never be a part of our culture, and in the near future, gambling will continue to evolve as the technology grows.

I will update my reply for this post later.
Do you always post like this? 8 out of your latest 10 posts are like this, then you when you will edit it? At the time when it is getting close to the payment date of the campaign? So it wont be look like a burst posting because you made it days before?
Remember mate, there is clear time of the editing. So if your main point of doing this is to avoid to be considered as burst posting then you are wrong.

Gambling is even very popular among people who can not afford. The majority of people gambling throughout history are the poor who have to work hard to live. Gambling is the most available escape because other entertainment spend money without any chance the money can get back or make more money. the more socially accustomed people are to gambling, the habit is already rushing and spreading almost entrenched. because it has become a routine activity.
I got your point too.Yes gambling has been here already even from the time of our ancestors long time ago.So there's no way stopping it,since it has been legalized also by most of the countries.But considering those poor people who are much into it,i think gambling would not really come out a good influence for them.Instead they may become addicted to it and it's not only one person who will suffer but the whole family will be hungry.I think this one should need attention from the government,minimizing gambling for those poor people who made gambling as a means for living,not just a mere entertainment.

Well, I think you live in the Philippines since I know what terms you stated and quoted. You know dude, We both know that our country is not that wealthy and a lot of people are suffering in poverty but they still choose to gambling. Gambling can make you addictive you know that, especially in our country. Sometimes people will do bad things in order for them to have money for gambling. You can see a lot in our news. Well, even some gambling games are banned in our country there's still also is allowed and one of that is what you quoted.
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.

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.

Every country have different culture and rule.
Unfortunlately , my government really strict about gambling activity so you will see less in my country because there are many past incident that turn into bloody murder because of gambling !

in my country, although it's strict about gambling, people still playing gambling but with secret and they can play in a secret place without other people knows except the gamblers. but I am not heard any bloody murder in here because I think that the police is trying to hide any illegal things that happen in my country.
Then it would be really hard for a gamblers to stay in your country if the police are always are their tail. I'm sure that those 'secret' places for gamblers will not stay that long because once the police have identified that place sooner or later raid will be coming. So gamblers has really have a lot of risk, not only you can lose your money, but you can lose your freedom as well if you are caught.
Well if that happens in my country, I will probably stop gambling, and will not put that risk specially if I have a family. Luckily though I lived where gambling is part of our culture and tradition.
In my place also we have many hidden gambling places even police also know these places but they will not raid because that place owners will pay everyday commission to the police department. But sometimes they will do some fake raids and arrest some people because to reach their target. yes end of the month they must show the government how many cases they registered.

The same with my country prohibiting hard gambling in whatever form and the government deliver strict rules in order to gambling did develop and anyone who do gambling means breaking the law and there will be the criminal law for the perpetratorUnfortunlately , my government really strict about gambling activity so you will see less in my country because there are many past incident that turn into bloody murder because of gambling !
Gambling is good in some places but its illegal is some country. Here in our country gambling is already a culture because you can see people gambling everywhere and a lot of big casinos are being built. Gamblin is not a bad culture its just so happen that people are too greedy to earn money without thinking about how much things they risk just to make small profit.
Gambling is even very popular among people who can not afford. The majority of people gambling throughout history are the poor who have to work hard to live. Gambling is the most available escape because other entertainment spend money without any chance the money can get back or make more money. the more socially accustomed people are to gambling, the habit is already rushing and spreading almost entrenched. because it has become a routine activity.

Even tho gambling isn't something that we can call part of our culture since our country's religion clearly forbids it , yet it has been adopted as a hobby for centuries now and people of all ages have at least tried it once in one way or another .
Whether you went to a proper casino and played dice or just sent an SMS to participate in a Tv show competition it's still called gambling but the degree of "shame" and "sin" ain't the same for these people , even tho it's really the same .
And we got those who consider it as the devil's invention and one of the most prohibited sins , yet i define a sin as doing something that hurts other people , yet whenever gambling i'm hurting no one in the world by spending the money that i earned so gambling is not a sin for me , neither something to be ashamed of , but trying to make 3rd world people understand is just impossible ..
