Gambling has been a part of every culture even if you are residing from a different country. Different ways and strategy but same goal. Probably it is because people always want to earn money in I think every aspect, so even if it is only a small amount of money earned through gambling, they’d still go for it.

I like your thinking, people will always try to earn money in every aspect and any way. Gambling is attractive cause you can win a lot very fast, and its legal in most of the countries. Something fall on my mind, what if we try to compare gambling with drinking culture? Both have many negative impacts on individuals and society, but both are legal in most of the countries and many people abuse gambling or drinking. But there are even more people who can control their urge for one of them, and they enjoy in both of them, but they have control and they know how much they can gamble or drink without consequences.
Culture is something you have in yourself or don`t, you learn that. Everything we do shape us and our society, and when you sum up everything it`s up to you and how much you can control yourself.

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?

maybe its about most of the people wanna earn big in simplest way and thats why they found gambling as source of income(though most of the time for sure they are losing)its not really advisable that you will let gambling feed your family because the risk is 70/30 more for loss..but gambling is here before our great grand fatjer live in bible we can read that even those soldier that bring Christ to dearh gambled for his Clothing this means OP is right its on the Culture

In the old days gambling still available and many people almost gambling at the night, we even have many gambling places. But all changed when the new president come and make a new rules about gambling because there are many negative effects on gambling. Gambling is banned right now in my country and most of them that want gambling are play at online casino.

Fantastic step your president have taken in such matter. This is really alarming to see casinos prevailing and opening in every new city. Many branches were opening in our cities throughout the country. Our government have taken the same step as yours. Now, gambling is banned in our country too and this made me so happy because I can’t see my people drowning in greediness.

I do not call it gambling has become a culture, but I call it a bad habit of someone who is not easy to give a little understanding or stop by itself. it's a lot of gambling everywhere although illegal, from the trivial of playing classic games with gambling, this is where little kids already know things like that, back again I see the environment is not good enough, every year is increasing and hereditary.

For country that legalized gambling, it does. You see cities that allows gambling make it their attraction. It even improves as time pass by. In return, these casinos where gambling events happen gives the government huge amount of profit, they even give budget to charities, in our country it does at least. So from being a habit of one person to a legalized system of entertainment, it became a culture of one city or place as time pass by.

Then this does explained that gambling really depends on every country's rules, at least your country did a little help on charity. But in our country casino's are prohibited to stand in some place due to the church law but there are still casinos in some urban area.
I think gambling is not really a culture since they does only exist in some occasion except on casino's.

For me it is not weird since its already our culture,we are already used in that way generation through generation gambling will always stay alive. But what is sad is even in an early age kids starting to learn simple kind of gamble.

It was part of our culture and we also have that "perya" since I was a kid in our barangay and town yearly but sometimes there's a year that it was prohibited, sometimes there's a year that they allow it. The "perya" near us has been raided by CIDG few nights ago and destroy a bit of there things but the owner fixed it again and now they continue operating. It was kind of illegal but it's really part of our culture that can't be easily vanish.

So ultimately there was a culture in your country about gambling. This thing can never be removed thoroughly from any state or country because people are doing it all the times. Sometimes in form of big games and sometimes in little games of snooker and else. This has been a culture to the world. People never stop themselves completely from playing this harmful game.

Gambling is no doubt played in every part of the world and the history of this game appears to me as old as the human race itself. All one needs for becoming a gambler is money to be placed on some game. Sometimes, those are played by the gambler himself and sometimes other play the game. It is just a total wastage of time and money. Indeed, gambling is more like a culture that is shared in all parts of the world. Due to technology evolution, people can gamble even if it is banned in their country.

I thinks we belong in the same country that belong also in the third world porrest country,and that all you mention a lowcost kind of gambling actually i experience also that,like playing cockfighting,peryahan games called "bingo",and small kind of cards games we called poker,three cards etc.actually all this kind of gambling cultures we inherit it from the spanish period when the time they colonize our country.

Just digging some info about this perya , is it just an ordinary carnival held in Philippine ? And some people do gamble on various form of games there? And then it become a culture to do so every year. I see Philippine as a country that prohibit gambling and quite religious. No wonder a lot of people try to stop it. Gambling there are A culture indeed but it should obey the policy and the norms used there.

Yeah, usually "perya" is held when there is a town fiesta. Just ordinary carnival but there are a lot of gambling in there, like dice game, bingo, color games and others games that involved money.

Yes, we it is predominantly religious nation, however, they also inherited a lot of vices specially from Europeans and Americans as far as I know.

I think gambling is a part of culture. A part that belongs in shadow, since it's been labelled improper or
has a bad reputation attached to it. But I think in a good way, it's entertaining at some point and time
or course. It is highly and widely considered as a pastime, distraction of some sort and a popular
entertainment. A good and sometime productive outlet for people who engage and favor such thrills and
pleasure. I think it's a good social activity in moderation of course since money is considerably involved.
It even arrived to the notion that gambling is livelihood to other people, it's addicting and that's the dark
side of gambling. People need to control and learn to be contented to overcome gambling as a vice.

Of course gambling forms an integral part of human existence and have been with us all this while and so stopping it will be really difficult especially with the powers of the world today and all the manipulation schemes at their disposal. All of us are going to be affected when gambling is stopped and so we will all try again to fight against each other due to our respective selfish interests.

Gambling is indeed prohibited by the law in In my country, Indonesia. But the majority of people is playing gambling in the hidden ways from cop and laws. Rich and poor they gamble for their favorite football team or when they are all playing a card game, and also in the internet cafe, I'm pretty sure in every place there will be always some people that online gambling.

Of course there's no question that gambling is already part of our culture, specially in the South East Asia. You can find them gambling at the street corner. I guess they just wanted to be entertain, pass their time or even play just to forget all their hardship in life.

Its part of our social norm already and its going to be difficult to completely eradicated. And no matter what the government, people will still find a way to gamble. I'm not saying that the government should not stop them, what I'm saying is that it will be a futile effort on their end because its part of everyone's lives and has been with us for hundreds of generation.

If total gambling ban is really on a tighter side which do impose great consequences or penalties then expect there would be no people who would gamble.There might be some numbers but not actually rampant as before.For some countries it would really be part of the culture or being part of their lives ever since on where it is already being applied on what they are doing along the way.Gambling can relieve stress but playing too much would also cause such stress too which we should really be aware of.

At least the new President is doing an all out war against gambling. However, its really gonna hard to stop because its already part of the culture and is a billion dollar business. Many big politicians are protectors, corrupt police officers are also involved.

So I don't think it can be stop. On the other hand, the government can somewhat legalized in then put heavier tax so that they can at least have something to get out of the gambling industries.

That's the problem it is hard to stop in the controlling of the politicians or anything you could simply use the money and just go with the flow. even though you are doing a small thing or a big thing, there would still be corruption going on because people are naturally selfish and wants to benefit with everything.
