The middle class people think of getting rich in a short period of time by gambling. But those who gamble with the thought of getting rich never get the pleasure of gambling. Those who take gambling as a pastime never worry about losing in gambling.Gambling with the thought of earning money by playing, they face many problems and get worried when they lose gambling.

This is correct. When you have people take profit-making from gambling into their minds, it affects the way they think and the way they gamble.

The fun part of gambling is being put aside as they chase big profits with the ambition to hit a jackpot, and most of the time they usually end up losing all they put in, and when they lose, they get emotionally hurt, which affects their next decision in terms of selecting the next game. There is little to no fun when someone is gambling mainly for the profit.

There is no fun in chasing big profits because the probability of hitting a jackpot is very low. People who gamble for entertainment do not think about waiting for jackpots if they do then they are no more gambling for fun. Gambling is meant to win or lose and if anyone is merely wining more than he loses then I can say he is having fun in gambling but if he is losing more often than the way he wins then such a person is not having fun. That is my definition of gambling for fun.

What each one of us finds entertaining differs based on our personalities, and I have no doubts there are people that do not understand how gambling can be fun at all, as it is an activity that is highly repetitive, still there is no denying that gambling for fun is a real thing, as it is obvious the people here on the forum understand very well they have no chance to make profits with gambling, and they still decide to spend some money this way as a way to relieve some stress and get some fun they may not get any other way.

It can be entertainment only if you initially do not perceive gambling as earnings, and losing or winning will not matter to them, but simply as a way to distract yourself from work. Only it seems to me that you need to play on a small budget, so that in case of loss there is no big disappointment, but this is relevant for me, maybe someone needs to risk big money to distract themselves.

In a case where a gambler loses several times, it doesn't seem fun to him as he would want to chase profits to cover up his losses. So if the mindset was for fun or entertainment, he would find himself chasing for wins and thus it's no longer fun anymore. Losing in gambling is bound to change our perception in gambling but when we are winning, we still dare to say we are either gambling for fun or for profits.
