Gambling addiction is especially prevalent among the poor, because 99% of poor gamblers' main purpose in gambling is to try to change their financial situation. This is very true, Because those who are poor, they definitely don't want to lose their money, In that case, if a poor person gambles, Then it is clear that they are gambling in the hope of just winning big, From which they want to change their fate and financial situation.
Those who are poor, they just want to become rich overnight through gambling, but those who are already rich most of the time they actually gamble only for entertainment, because by gambling, they just enjoy entertainment and clear their minds through it.
I think you are right, most poor people needs a quick way out, they want to just easily become rich overnight and that's why they are gambling always. I was thinking about it, if some poor people were actually very rich, they will not think of involving themselves into gambling.
Even some kids that got distracted from their education because of gambling, most of the kids needed money, so they thought gambling can help them, along the line, they become addicted and distracted.
