Many but not all gamblers are claiming they gamble for fun and pass time. I was just thinking. If it is the reason why people gamble then why not play online games? There is a lot of good and challenging onlne games wherein you can interact with other people online?
Of course, anyone can just play online games instead of gambling. However, people want to play games with variation. If you keep on playing the same game over and over again, you will most likely lose interest on it.
