Benefits for the country don't come only through taxes for the government, but also through jobs opportunities the industry creates for local citizens. Moreover, if you want to calculate how much money people lose daily, you also have to add the different products and services they consume for a living, food, health, security and entertainment, that is where gambling is included. When we calculate only financial losses from gambling and ignore the entertainment value it has, we are actually considering it an investment, as we consider positive financial returns a must, which is wrong, since this kind of mindset can only lead to considerable losses and frustration over results.
So with money you will be able to change everything, and because of money also your views are very likely to become dark, maybe there are some people in the government who can think with a mature mindset so that they can make the best decisions wisely, but on the other hand it cannot be denied that there will also be some people who take advantage of the situation, corruption has become quite common in some countries and that is what is very likely to happen and what will make the government maintain the legality of gambling in the country longer, not for the benefit of the community but for the government organization because there is a large amount of money spinning there.
