I think its possible to amplify or pick up crime as a result of gambling experience. In particular, more so I think, in relation to old fashion walk in casinos.
Any person who has got addicted to gambling the chances of happening of crime also increases with that cases. Though it will a few % among that addictions who can commit crime and it will happen when they lose all their money and want more to gamble.
Do you really know cases of gamblers who lost money in a casino, went out and stole from someone or robbed someone at gunpoint to be able to get back to game? Never heard of anything like it. Gamblers aren't some hardcore criminals and they aren't blinded by drugs when they are playing. If they see an opportunity they'll take it but they won't start killing people to be able to play.
You have no never heard about this but this is a fact and the reason is that addicted gambler want money for their addiction and to get some money they can do anything illegal but they want money at any cost. I have seen so many cases. Most of the robbers are gamblers because they rob and loot people to fulfill their addiction. When one thing is illegal why not so many?
It's rare for me to hear there are gambling addicts who commit big crimes like robbing or killing people. Usually the crimes they committed were crimes that were relatively small such as stealing from friends, parents and or pawned items that weren't theirs. Indeed there are gamblers who commit big crimes but that is very rare according to my knowledge.
Yes, most of the crimes are a small case, like stealing from friends, his relative but you know, when he start stealing like that, it's a red flag there because we never knows, maybe he will make a bigger crime someday.
