And also when I was growing up watching movies locally, there will always this plot twist that there is a illegal gambling den and it will be raided by the hero of the movie and then those running it says it is being protected by high officials of the government.
And so have you heard of it like in your country?
That was a stereotype that entrenched the belief in the minds of people of how dangerous and menacing gambling could be. I watched a lot of such movies growing up. Yes, I used to think one needed to be in bad company, cult, or be a gangster to participate in gambling. Everyone who wore nice suits and gambled was a mafia in my innocent eyes. How funny that thought sounds now, with all that I've come to know. Maybe then, it was for outlaws and no-goods.
Or have you played in this kind of underground gambling den before?
No, I haven't and I don't think I will try it. I hate enclosed space. It makes me feel trapped and that's not what the famed detective writer, James Hadley Chase, would advise.
