Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

This is happening in my country too. Many sport betting and gambling central are been open daily and it seems the industry is growing at an alarming rate. I think this might have side infect in future as everything look very lazy and young men are not doing anything than gambling.

Well those who thinks that gambling is the way out of poverty is very wrong. If I'm in their shoes I would try to look for jobs and not put everything in gamble because you can't really control the outcome. Anyways, yes it's really alarming but as long as the government see it as way to generated revenue then I'm sure they will allow casino's to grow in their country.

Yes, i agree that casino is not a good source of income for the gamblers as it is the gamblers who lost more in gambling. However, the starting a casino is a profitable business and that is why we are seeing too many casino opening up these days all around the world.
You can even start a casino online and it will cost you very minimal amount but the returns will be great.
