There are cases where gambling becomes a tourist destination. Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Macau, Singapore and Japan are very familiar to me when it comes to casinos visited by local and foreign tourists in order to gamble.
I'm setting Las Vegas as an example. It is a desert and it is hot. Tourists want to enjoy and relax in their travels and a desert isn't the place for it. But thanks to its variety of huge casinos it also attracted many forms of events regularly. This made Las Vegas as the entertainment and gambling capital of the world even if it is located in a desert.

An interesting question is, If the younger person wins the lottery from the gifted ticket, will the state agree too pay them or wait till they come of legal age??

From a legal point of view, this is a simple question. The law separates two activities: gambling and income generation. Since the ticket was gifted, there was no violation of the law. So the lucky person is left to receive his prize and pay taxes (if any - I heard in different states this is regulated in different ways).
A more confusing case would be if a minor illegally purchased lottery tickets and won the top prize. Here, most likely, we would see an interesting struggle of lawyers.

Major cities already have big casinos for every tourist interested to gamble. They travel so far to experience the high life in Resorts World.
You'd be surprised to know that there is a country where a 5 yr old kid is already allowed to gamble. There were discussions like this already, here is one https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5230360.20 But looking again at the wiki page Malawi age limit had already been updated. So far regulations of countries already agreed above 18.

I wonder if there are any South Koreans here? Really, can they keep to the rule of gambling to only some specific games even when they are abroad?
Good question. I think yes, they will still comply with that local rule because they will be worried that other people might see them not complying with the law when they are outside of the country. That might result in a much more serious issue if they will not follow their local rule outside the country.
But of course, surely not 100% of Koreans are following that but I will say most do follow. They are disciplined people after all.

If your country is not included but is a travel destination, you can provide a review of the gambling activities in your country for the benefit of gamblers who may want to choose your country as a travel destination
Marina Bay Sand Hotel, not only used as a place to gamble, MBSH also provides lodging and shopping places for travelers who want to travel to Singapore, The building which has 57 floors is like three glass pillars that are similar to boats ready to sail on the southern coast, located in Singapore.I only suggest for those who want to visit Marina Bay Sand Hotel, you really have to think about the risks, if you want to bet on casino gambling there, you have to be really mature and calm if you lose or win in gambling there, considering that many tourists lose their money, then jump ends tragically dying by suicide, this year it happened again to tourists who came from Taiwan, temporarily suspected of losing in gambling, for that if you want to bet there you must have a healthy mind and be ready to accept the risks, don't want to jump and commit suicide.

Regulators make the law, but the gambling sites would decide until it become a legal battle in court, but which may not lead to court case because it is underage, the gambling site would win and no money would be paid unless they have ToS for tourists. But it almost all countries, under 18 years are not eligible to gamble.Why need a legal battle while lottery tickets has no indicated owners on it which means the legal guardian of the underage winner can claim it since there’s no way for the lottery company to determine the owner of the tickets once they pick the winner. Whoever holds the winning tickets can claim the price unless the lottery system on other country register the players name by the time they made the ticket purchase.

-Delaware has the strongest regulations around gambling. Players must be at least 18 years old to play the State Lottery. However, an 18-year old may purchase a lottery ticket and give it to a younger person as a gift.

I think they will allow it as long as the claimant will be supervised by his parents or guardians.
Lotteries surely understand already that there will always be the case that tickets will be gifted to a younger person.
And if that is not allowed, I think Delaware citizens already know that rule and in the case of winning, the prize will be claimed instead by the legal age person.

I remember an old thread where some countries or particularly one where the legal age to gamble is 10 that's crazy right. However mostly 18 is the legal age to gamble in most part of the world and the same goes to the internet casinos. I don't know the gambling tourism is still exists apart from Vegas and one country near to China?

In my country and most other countries, the age limit is not less than 18years and above. In a country like Nigeria, the gambling sector is regulated by the National Lottery Regulatory Commission and only licenced Slot machine operators are allowed to operate. Other games that operate under license and are legal include land based casino, sports betting. The illegal games are Roulette, dice games and non skilled card games.

It depends on the country. One country can accept young players while the other countries do not accept them. But if a player is underage, maybe the casino sites or casinos offline do not allow them to take the win money.But as we know, young people can easily access the online casino through their mobile phones so it will not be a problem for them to play gambling. But the best play gambling is in your place because you will know the situations in your country and if your country prohibits gambling, you can access the online casino.

To me I will say Las Vegas has all kind of gambling games in their casinos and that makes it the best place for physical gambling,because you will see the uniqueness in their casinos. As for age limit,gambling is just like alcohol which age limits is from 18 and above. I went to Bahamas last year,I was lucky to visit one of their casinos, it was fun for me and my cousin which I went to see,we played different kind of games. Mobile casinos has involves teens below 18yrs into gambling.

Younger teens have access to phones and internet and many of them fill-out ages above 18 so the can get eligibility to gamble, Some with matured looks also take advantage of their body difference to visit casinos even when they fall below 17 years. Technology has made age a factor that only affects physical deals like offline casinos but online casinos has little or no restrictions
September 30, 2022, 07:24:37 AM
18 to 21 years old is the standard age for young people to gamble and in these countries that you've mentioned its also the same in my country, but I doubt if in this age of the internet, kids below 17 years have not experienced to gamble, even these young people are playing games they are still gambling in a subtle way, they bet for items for their characters and buy stuff to have an edge against their opponents, this age restriction only applies to physical casinos and offline lotteries but not online, we are living in a very liberal and technology-driven environment.

There is a conflict on that term if they don't allow below 18 years to play the state lottery then they should not let a younger person acquire a lottery ticket even as a gift, since they do not allow 18 years to play the State Lottery they will either void it or wait for the kid to reach 18 years old to receive his prize but what if the younger person is only 10 years when he receives the lottery ticket and won a jackpot he'll have to wait 8 years to receive the prize, it's better not to give the younger person a lottery ticket in case of a win there will be issues.
Yes, I was baffled by that statement as well, and then give to to a younger person as a gift? I'm confuse, anyhow, 18-21 is what the age limit for most countries. And here, if the casino's suspect that you are not in the age limit, then they will ask for id.
Or the morals for young people is not really dig into gambling at a young age, specially in casinos because it can really ruin their lives and that is why this laws are put into place.

With these age limits, you can say that it is not always the case because sometimes minors can still go there and play without being caught. I'm surprised about the other countries because they are really taking care of their people because they are actually minimizing the risk of addiction when they limit the participant's ages. they are raging from age 18-21, I guess if you pass that age in those countries, life will get more challenging. Next time I really want to see a list of countries that totally prohibit gambling in any way or shape you perform whether Casino, Lottery, Race, or others.

The only two localities I as a gambler would like to visit in a tourism trip are Las Vegas as the biggest one which I dream to go there and Maccau which I don't care that much even if I don't visit it one time in my life but Las Vegas is in my long term agenda to visit and why not to hit a multi million dollar jackpot there 
.
All other places mentioned here are not that impressive to me and do not offer the same treatment as Las Vegas offers.

I guess I was just lucky to visit those sites years ago, specially Vegas, it was really an eye opener for me. And I guess it is still a tourist destination for us. Macau is different though, if you are going to that place, then you are going to gamble, Lol.
Regarding the questions of age, if the law says that they are in legal age and if they won the lottery then, obviously the government will have to honor that and pay the player.

They are not in their country, so far another type gambling which is illegal in their country is provided where they toured to, they may want to try it out as as it is legal in the country they are.
