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?
Gambling could not be a culture of society, 3000 years ago there was gambling, bringing money with the main objective chance of gambling objects showing variety. Today, gambling has only changed shape.
Apparently, as technology keeps changing, different ways of gambling keeps popping up and not people can easily gamble in the corner of their room without being spotted. I know in some places gambling can be considered as a culture since they really do not see anything wrong about it and they can easily have their fun with it, but in most cases and countries, it is considered an irresponsible act rather than a culture.
