Yeah why not gambling can be allot of fun when you play and know that you really of not much to lose. That is the best time to gamble but I only would gamble when I am with some friends.
That's the reason why people gamble - to socialize. Most gamblers have made a social life in a casino. They earned the trust of their new friends, they bond each other by playing in a casino, and they have a lot of fun whenever one of the members of their circle wins a lot of money and they just go out and have some drinks.
Rich people thought they will never gamble again, they thought they will be able to save all their money for their family and never lose any of it in gambling. But once they meet someone who's rich and a gambler, there's a tendency that the peer pressure created between them will lead him to become a gambler once again. I'm not saying that all rich people gamble, some of them are too busy to gamble.
