I rarely see women doing gambling but one of the reasons is that because of friends they will accompany their friends and have fun meaning they are into entertainment and at the same time they are bonding with each other if this is a physical casino.
Most women play at online casinos now just to be safe, and their reason is the same as ours to have fun or might be wanting to win a huge money to spend on something else
I've been playing for years in casinos especially, physical casinos, and at every table that I've been sitting there is always a woman sitting and playing/gambling. There may be a lot of reasons why they are gambling, one reason is that they practice their social skills by meeting new people and also to socializing with other players. Gambling or playing is not always you want to win huge money but also to have some fun and bond with other players.
Socializing with other players might be the goal of gambling because by meeting other players, they can get to know each other and later, they can also make an appointment to meet again to gamble another day. Women will use many reasons why they are interested in gambling and may not want to reveal them to us. And that's okay because it's each woman's secret if they don't want to tell the truth. But with the development of the internet, women can gamble from their homes without going to the casino, which means they don't want to meet other people at the casino. They can just gamble from home and can do other activities while they only use gambling as a tool to get pleasure using money.
