Not really surprising though? What would be more surprising is, if the development of gambling casinos in countries was stopped. Especially those big countries that has a big market and economy. Sadly though, the African government could be said to actually be hoarding the gambling community in their country instead. Them, and those rich people who suck the people of Africa dry of their economy and resources.
I think this part is upsetting. African countries are indeed known for incredible rates of corruption, political instability, many people starving, severe human rights violations. Survival is something that's difficult there for many people. And if they see gambling as a way out, it can be even worse. Because gambling, in general, is not a way of earning money. It's a way of losing it, for the sake of something else (being involved in the game, experiencing certain feelings, being entertained, socializing in a specific way, etc.). IMO it's something that should be done by people who can afford to do it. If a person who does not always go to sleep without feeling hungry is putting basically one's last money on gambling, this is a kind of thing that makes gambling a very negative phenomenon in the eyes of many people, because it leaves people completely broken. So hopefully, at first their life will get better, and then they'll start gambling.
And we cant do anything about it. Why? Because, gambling is the only way for them to at the very least, earn money while avoiding those sharks who just suck them dry. Besides, IF they started gambling, its pretty hard to pull out of it since it is probable contracts are already made, agreements and the like. The dark side of gambling can be very scary at times and you never know when it could possibly eat you up.
