When was the last time in your life when you saw gambling addicted person? Or have anyone of you ever seen such people? I see a lot of people talk about addicted people, but all they know about them is from reading articles or someone has told them. I have also read about ludomania, but in person never ever seen addicted people. Or maybe from first look it is impossible to tell if person is addicted. I have only see drunk people near offline casinos. But I doubt that they were addicted gamblers.
I would say many are gambling daily at the local casino.
Just head into any casino in your city and you will probably see a few addicts there.
Specially if you go late at night, they will be there playing all the time.
And if I do so, I think I would see more "regular" customers, than addicted gamblers. I think there is a difference between those two. Person can be gambling regularly, but wasnt bringing all his monthly salary as soon as he gets it. Regular gamblers indeed spend a lot of time gambling, but they know when to stop; at least they have a stop button or can pause gambling for time. That is why I say, that I barely see really addicted people. People who only gamble. And I see regular gamblers in offline casinos. People who are often lonely or have nothing to do, and casinos are the place where they get special attitude or "ears" who will always listen to their complains and talks.
