The possible chance of illicit acquisition of money in this narrative may be low. Provided they work and the source of income comes in, they'll be one option alone; working hard. The players who go out of their way to commit crime for gambling barely have something doing to earn money. A busy mind doesn't think of illegal actions, but like I said earlier, the chance is low, greedy gamers will always get disappointed.
This is more about each person's mindset, in my opinion, because if people work hard now but the goal is to gamble, it's really ridiculous, isn't it? Working hard in real life should be to improve our lives, such as fulfilling needs that are lacking. For people who can think wisely, they won't waste their hard work just for something uncertain, except maybe doing it occasionally and clearly the goal is really just for entertainment, not with the victory they seek to change their lives. Perhaps most unemployed people think that they can change their lives by winning at gambling.
