For me gambling does not increase crime but rather increase addiction to some people who does not know how to handle it properly. When it comes to crime, for me the number 1 aspect is drugs next is poverty. I don't consider gambling unless it was also associated with drugs.
So do you agree that it increases or not? Because on one side you say it doesn't then you say it does

I think the whole thing is related dude. when you become a gambling addict you will desperately need money to return to gambling even though you have run out of money. this will be like drug addiction right? and when you bankrupt you will be poor and increase crime?
Okay, now this is from a very different perspective I did not even get to think of at all in the first place. Usually, we have always seen the desperation in some gambling addicts in the way they expose themselves to certain things and then get to find a way to fulfill their urge and desire to gamble and can go to any length to do something to at least get money to gamble.
However, we should also know that being an addict generally is something that a lot of people inflict on themselves, so putting the blame on a casino is not it. In relation to criminal activities, it can happen anywhere and even though we have heard of several casinos in the past being involved in some dark deals does not mean every casino out there is a culprit.
