Japan surprised me on this list since I thought Gambling is completely ban on this country while only pachinko is the only gambling allowed.
It’s under the criminal code chapter 23 so I’m not sure why Japan is on the top spot with limited gambling games allowed for them to play.
The gambling mindset is put into the japanese people right from their childhood. With Gacha machines, Crab machines in every place, the gratification of getting your hands on one of the rewards from these machines begins right in their tender years.
As time passes on and they become adults, they cant stop getting their hands on a pachinko machine which is another gambling station.
So nothing surprising here, gambling is very common among Japanese and often the salarymen are in debts to the local loan sharks.
