So what are your thoughts? lets discuss.
I always have this question in my mind.
Would people still gamble or casinos business will boom if money is not involved as the jackpot but instead the prizes is things that we use in our daily life like food in form of gift cards or vouchers to pay our utility bills. Imagine casinos will offer a $100k worth of gift card that can be use on a particular grocery store that they support, use to buy gas, etc. There could be other prizes too like a brand new car or house. Would people still gamble if we are living in a world like that because we all know that the main reason of gambling addiction is money.
I think there will always be addiction in gambling knowing there are good prizes waiting for them. Although money is not physically present, but you see those prizes still have those expensive value when convert into money. For me, gambling will still be worth the risk. Well, that exclude for those who can buy things on their own because they have the potentials to do so, but for poor people, they will always long to win those incredible prizes.
