Culture is everything, accompanied by social influence. If you are in places where they see gambling as culture, the growth of gambling in that area will be on the high side. Religion is also one thing that has reduced the rate at which many people are gambling, as their religion forbids them from doing that. However, among every reason that has been stated and listed before, the one I don’t always completely agree with is “poverty” as a reason for why people gamble. Anyone can be fully into gambling; the poor are the least people who should think about gambling, as they literally have no money to feed from, talk more of spare to sponsor gambling with.
