I sometimes wonder how many Americans are gambling now. Typically people gamble online with much higher amounts because you have faster access to large sums of money.
There are many restrictions for Americans, but looking purely at casinos that are physically located, I think there is a lot of gambling going on here. Or maybe somewhere in Asia.
I did not know so many people players from Australia.
Yeah me too, if the number one in the list is Asia , I don't have any doubt about that but it is Australia, here in asia, we have a lots of casinos and local gambling games some of them are not registered and illegal but still many people are unto it, so it is quiet new to me that we are not into the number one in the list, maybe it is good since I knew that we belong to the 3rd world country losing that amount is quiet unusual in here.
I agree with you, I honestly thought that Asia would come first of the list. For instance, Macau's biggest source of revenue is gambling tourism, making up about 50% of their economy. Gambling tourism has been also a significant contributor to economic growth of different Asian countries. And also considering the fact that the largest casino in the world, Venetian Macao, is located in Asia.
Asia, as a whole might really top this list if we will be basing this on the continent.
The reason that we are talking about the countries which gamble the most means we are talking about countries and that is the reason Australia tops it all. As far as I know, Australians have a huge problem when it comes to gambling, the reason they are number one, that is the same with other countries like Singapore, Ireland and Finland which is also on the list.
