The only reason why it's still approved in so many countries today is that nobody is compelled to gamble; you can always have a choice and avoid something that wants to swallow you up. The benefits are definitely not one-sided anyway.
Therein lies the secret, no one forces anyone to play in a casino, for me things in a casino are different because people play for fun, in fact no one forces us to gamble, but of course sometimes the interests of governments and some organizations make it seem like this type of entertainment is unnecessary, for me it is something that should be avoided, the fact that a government decides, for me there should be freedom at all times, besides just seeing that they are approving so many depraved things in the world, the casino is usually one of the most harmless things Nowadays.
