Yeah we have the same observation mate,as this is what Ive always observed whenever i go to the casino ,i use to see many older or mature people before but nowadays the trend goes the other way and itsmore youngsters what you find in gambling places,like here in my region when theres supposedly older people that plays local gamblings
But now,i find younger versions specially in card games and the local chicken or cockfighting,in which younger generation is dominating.things thats not common for me and maybe for many people here
This may be the good sign for the casino or gambling site owner as young people would keep playing till they won money and may get addicted easily as compared to matured people. On other hand as a society if you consider it is a alarming sign that youngster are now getting more into gambling at very young age which could even threaten a society at some point of time if things continue this way for too long.
IMO young people tend to be more addicted in gambling because in this young age,they always wanted to explore new things especially those that involves money.But unfortunately,these young people cannot control their own emotions so they end up being addicted just like in gambling.
