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?
There's a big difference on both, it's not about interacting with other people only, there's more than that, the feeling and the excitement of every roll that you did not know if you are going to win or lose, people like to tempt their luck and gambling is the best place to see that.
