scatter game or this gambling game in the philippines that the government had to intervene in between because it was getting very popular and many citizens are gett addicted

some said that it’s because the philippines is a poor country and that’s why they get addicted easily but is it possible that most gamblers who got addicted are old people past retirement and have nothing else to do anymore?

You are right, it's very common for old people to get addicted to gambling due to the fact that they are retired at that age and might not have any other thing to do with their time other than to gamble. Most of these old people get idle and lonely this is the reason why they get involved in gambling. If they are not being careful they spend all their retirement funds on gambling which makes them become penniless

This is true because I have often see old retirement people that normally got carried away when gambling. That is why they Always end up getting addicted to gambling because they see it as a source of income, without noing that gambling is not a place to make a living. Because this is exactly what is happening to most of the retired people in my street, they all rely heavily on gambling till now.
