Well, I think there's nothing to surprised about simply because expect that as long as there is high rate of poverty within the country gambling will be always there, people hoping that they will win in the fastest and easiest way. Hence, whether their government make a law against this activity or not, people will still choose to defy the law. Just like in my country where gambling is prohibited but they still find a way to earn in a fast way in which they thought gambling was the key.
