There's nothing like not falling into deep gambling addiction; the best thing is to never allow addiction because gamblers who have chronic gambling addiction today started from little addiction.
According to the report about individuals who are gambling addicts. I believe the people who are the most vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts are teenagers, and people with depression, or mental disorders. The less privileged who are gambling addicts are still lower than teenagers and depressed individuals who are gambling addicts.
Teenagers pressure eachother too often that when one of them begin to experience success in life too early, others begin to get envious and what to do something to get money so they will not be left behind. Gambling is one of the easiest things that they will decide to do and they rush into gambling without having the experience before and they are not also patient because they want to meet up other teenagers that they are friends with. The depressed people will be very vulnerable to addictions because they are already depressed and are looking for something that can help them get their minds off their depression. Gambling frequently always help them but it comes at the cost of being addicted and lossing money and most of them do not recover.
I so much agree with what you said based on what actually happened during my juvenile stage I could remember myself and mate always have the habit of trying new things and like to engage in what others are doing to live a good life. I could remember the habit is what also lead my engagement in smoking, and drinking. Besides, I could also remember thats how I also engage in gambling which is the rolling of a dice but it's gambling that involves a group of while a trusted person is used as the house.
The level of vulnerability of the depressed people is the reason why I believe casino should have restrictions for users that spend much time on the gambling.
