have you ever been to prison? it is a tough life in there. no matter what you did or whether you were wrongly accused for something, prison is not for everyone. it is obviously lonely as you gets separated away from your family. it can get boring, not being able to do what you want.

but gambling, even tho is prohibited, is often what entertains most prisoners. there is no actual money in prison so they often exchange in other forms of currencies like food or smuggled items. even their way of gambling is smuggled. cards, dice and even information from the outside are all smuggled.

the reason why gambling is prohibited tho is because it might escalate into fights if someone for example loses and doesn't pay their debts

just shows how gambling will always exist anywhere

So the only question is which came first the chicken (prostitution) or the egg (gambling). They probably arrived on the same night to be honest  Grin.

But in all seriousness, it does seem like those two industries are evergreen. Seemingly will last longer than functional jobs, even in a broken down society. A financial dystopia is ruin for most, but green skies for profitable gamblers and hosts.
