Me going home with empty pocket is not very entertaining at all. I don't think it would before majority of the people who has wife and kids. It may be for the rich who are not having money problems but finance is always the reason for wife and husbands quarrel, you get entertained in the casino but at home will not be entertaining.
The Chinese has distinctive look of things and gambling is among it but one reason gambling is ban in China is probably because gambling produces more dysfunctional families so they created an isolated place where only rich are able to gamble.
Yes, the Chinese are very gamblers. What is it connected with?
China is a very ancient country that has existed for about 5,000 years. This is a country in which the central government has always been very strong. The inhabitants of China had few civil rights and freedoms, the value of an individual human life in China has always been low.
All this brought up fatalism in the Chinese.
That is why the Chinese are very fond of gambling. Gambling is an opportunity to enter into combat with fate and at least for a moment get out of a strictly defined social role.
An ant in an anthill cannot defy fate and try its luck. But a person can.
The gambling of the Chinese is very clearly manifested in the topic of cryptocurrencies. It was the people of China who propamped the initial price of the EOS token from $0.85 to $6 in June 2017.
This is why the Chinese government prohibits and restricts cryptocurrencies and gambling.
