It is really no surprising as the gambling cities of Macau in China and Las Vegas in America are in these countries and there is really an active gambling industry there. I just wonder how they were able to come up with the said numbers of losses in terms of money lost by an individual. Well I understand it is the average but I do think that only a few people could afford to lose a thousand dollars for gambling purposes. I am really curious about the statistics used on this and how they come up with such a number.
