have you ever wondered which are the countries where gambling is more popular?
I knew answer from the begging: the richest countries are the most gambling countries. This is obvious: in poor countries you have much more useful things to do with your money, rather than playing gambling games where you will lost money for sure.
And in rich countries you can spend some part of income to transform it into entertainment.
this website gives us a clue about it.
Rank Country Gaming Losses Per Adult
1 Australia $1,288.00
2 Singapore $1,174.00
3 Ireland $588.00
4 Canada $568.00
5 Finland $553.00
6 Italy $517.00
7 Hong Kong $503.00
8 Norway $448.00

do you live in any of these countries? it'd be nice to hear more on the opinions of someone who knows the gambling scene on each place.
this other website tell a slightly different story

And both of this statistic sits just confirm my statements. Only wealth countries (about China i think it's because Macao and Hong Kong)
