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.

Distraction is a good call for it. Sometimes it can really be fun if it wants to and most especially depending on who is in the picture, but I would not see it as being part of the culture as some usually do not fancy it anyway and they would rather do other things than gamble even if it is legal. I feel it is just a personal thing and people have their own way of perceiving things and while some see it as a way to socialize, some see it in a different way.

Good point, as mention we do have our owned position about every matters around us, even we live in such culture but if we do have different belief
then we are not going to follow or embrace such things, though it can possibly attract the person but if he don't have the excitement then it will not
do the same, same treat with gambling if we really don't like it, we will not be force in any event that we need to follow the culture playing or entertaining
such activity.

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.

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 consider gambling is a waste of our time. Just imagine the current culture has been branded gambling is a thing that is not useful. All of it is not without reason, gambling game has destroyed the life of a person. They get addicted and eventually they lose everything they have. Gambling is a bad thing and when we've entered gambling game then we will be hard to Stop. The tremendous negative impact the gambling game brings.

yeah, actually, we can allocate our time to do positive things to stay away from play gambling and we can manage our lives without doing gambling. and if we know about the risk in gambling games, then we need to think to leave the gambling games forever. it is better for us to use our time for work or another else, don't destroy our life by gambling only and we need to start to stop from playing gambling from now on.

In our country, although we cannot consider gambling as our culture, but many of our countrymen introduce it to us and we made an another version of gambling but still we cannot say it is our culture but it has a big part of our culture. If I will take a survey maybe 9 out 10 of my countrymen have a knowledge about gambling.

If you can’t say it your culture you are still fortunate enough. Governments have taken such amazing step to consider this gambling harmful and then banned it over different regions. Like you have said, these countrymen are fugitives and non-loyal who are not accepting their country’s rules and laws. We all must cater for the objections imposed by our governments.

Not just the government but also the religion opposes gambling. It is not just harmful but also a sin to be engaged in such activity. This is how gambling looks bad to many people and in our country but despite this fact, many people still managed to do it. Some do it secretly or hidden, going to casinos without anybody knowing. Some people are able to gamble without going to casinos since there are card games that can be played at home.

You see, even if it is included or not included in the culture, people will still play it because they have a choice. They choose to do what other people may opposed because for them, it is a game for relaxation and for earning money.

I agree on the part wherein one said that gambling has already been a part of a culture. And what do they say about culture? You can hardly change it. At best, you shall kill the race to put an end to a not-so-good culture. But you know, we no longer live in stone age whereby people get so gore by killing others just because they have differences. We now live in a world where there are laws that should put us on the right track and act accordingly with our diversity. Nevertheless, where did these laws bring us? Did it take us somewhere? Are we better today than in the past? Well, the answers to these are subjective. I just hope we all realize how crucial it is when we speak of culture.

Even though most people are aware about the negative effects of gambling, people still find it entertaining and a good activity to spend your free time.

Though these days, in terms of entertainment and spending your time, there are a lot of other things that you can spend it into like playing games offline or online even gambling is a game now.

In our place, gambling is strictly prohibited that is why people who are gambling is doing ways like going to other places when there are cock fights, they call it as "tupada" though I am not really familiar with that. Gambling our place is now just legal when there are some celebrations like fiesta,when someone is dead, Christmas and New Year.

If I'm looking at my country, it hasn't been seen that gambling can be said to be culture or already become like a culture, it's more directed to the other side of life of the various people in the activity it does. It's such a negative activity that people think it's a moment's pleasure and to spend some free time. Addicts with non addicts., there are still many people who are not addicted in a gambling, also a gambling's place based land., is still not so widely available, because it's still often with the police raids. But everything is not seen for a gambling in cyberspace, maybe that many people who've entered into it without being noticed by the others people.

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 would not say only middle and low class people gamble in general as some rich people do too as well, but it just depends on the level of gambling and where it is being done. In my country, the low and middle class actually prefer the local bet or lottery while some middle class and high class would rather do sport betting or visit big casinos to do their thing.

I would not say it is becoming a culture as some still have that negative perception about it, I just see it as a means for some people to actually want to try their luck which is human but at the end, the owners of this casinos and gambling spots are the ones making the money.

Ya maybe culture, maybe pass-time? I think we are from the same place. I still remember in my place when iwas a child. Even housewives, when they are bored from taking care of the house and children, they will start talking, gossiping and then agree to start playing cards with bets. Some look at it as entertainment too.

This world is full of places totally different from each other and everything happens under the blue sky of ours. It does not surprise me if some housewives play cards while gossiping to kill the time. But it does not mean that this deed is appreciated or respected. Gambling is played almost everywhere but it is not a healthy activity. But if someone cannot live without playing it then he or she must learn to limit numbers of bets.

Gambling has been a part of most Filipinoes daily lives and culture. Especially to old people, it had been their favorite past time even though the bets are just too small. Rich people gamble in casinoes to socialize and to have fun. Even though most people are aware about the negative effects of gambling, people still find it entertaining and a good activity to spend your free time.

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.

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.

Still there will be gambling wherever we want to be aware or not gambling is sure to happen there is only one that is prohibited and there are not sometimes that is prohibited any still done by the community on condition that the local police do not know it and it has become a culture inherent in each region or country

Gambling is just a general thing in any place that it is not illegal and it is just the way we do it that differs. In my country, asides from lottery and sport betting, that is all that is to it and truly, it is making a lot of waves to the point that you now see people every day and even learned ones, doing a little bit of it and expecting a good result.

For children though, I have not seen anything close to it in my country, but probably because I do not go out to some part of the suburbs to see what is really happening which I won't be surprised.

Regardless of legality nor availability of gambling in anywhere, it must be a basic responsibility for every parent for protecting and guiding their children so that they can grow like a responsible citizen. A proper gambling culture must focus on young generations too, otherwise it may lead to imbalanced environment among people and their behaviors.

Gambling is somehow depends on the influence of the community or by the family, but we are the one who will chose our own actions especially if we are already on the right age to decide for ourselves, otherwise, we became too uncontrollable that we need guidance, at this point when addiction strikes never blame any culture.

Previously though not illegal, gambling was severely frowned upon the society in my country but right now, People really don't care and almost everyone is currently gambling from kids even to the old people because people have realized that money is more important than culture.

This does not hold true in my country. People give more value to culture than money here and you can easily notice the difference if you have seen both cases. I am not judging anyone with different approach but this has a lot of benefits in my opinion for people in my country. Current youth might be having different opinion and we can see them becoming more materialistic in future.

Same here in my country. There is a look the society gives you when you are involved in things that would probably jeopardize the life of you and family if you are not very careful and that makes them to give you that 'oh, he is a gambler' kind of look.
Everyone should be entitled to whatever they do anyway, but I feel some culture will not permit gambling being a culture in the society considering the number of people in the past that have done such and did not go well with them.

well, maybe gambling is a culture. in my country, has many games that are similar to gambling games. but, I think, when we grow up, we can see the difference in gambling and not.

I hope gambling is the culture in your country and many other parts of the country still, gambling is illegal, gambling is the major case where cannot control our bankroll while playing it, many times i tried to control the bankroll but ending up in the loss.

If it is a culture in your country, I must say this is a bad mark that is being running in your country. In my country, gambling is banned. We are happy with it. People are still hiding somewhere and gamble but this culture is not accepted in our country. We are saluting our government for taking this step because if these gambling casinos are not banned, they will eat up all of us.

Siesta? Oh, it's common on places where women or even men have nothing to do in the afternoon, like those small impoverished villages, where everyone is looking for a way to strive for the day.

I am not against those matters, but the time that those people waste ( especially if they are busted ) instead of using it to earn money or look for something to do. Sometimes it's becoming a habit, they would do it everyday at the same time, and what's worst is they would do it until dusk and forget that they children are hungry, or they don't know where their children are going or what they are doing. It could lead to a broken family.
