You make a great point about gambling being both a life-changing and a life-hurting experience. It really depends on how individuals approach it and the control they have over their actions. I've seen firsthand the negative impact gambling can have on people's lives, and it's disheartening to witness.
I think that the game does not harm life, the function of the game is that people can spend a different time and they add that they can bet the amount of money they want, and that is the problem, why when people bet a lot of money and they lose it can cause any type of Psychological damage for spending money that they should not, but this is not the fault of a casino, it is the fault of the person who decides not to be responsible for playing with an amount of money that they cannot lose.
Games of Chance are made so that casino owners have profits , it is their business, we cannot fight against that, a Casino will Always have an advantage over us and whoever does not want to Understand that is Because they are very wrong.
