I doubt it's laziness, as anyone who has gambled for a while can say that it can take forever to win big, if that ever even happens.

If we are purely talking about money, it's more about impatience, at least for newcomers it seems like a promise of getting rich overnight. Compared to a job, where you have to save and invest to win that jackpot worth of money, and that can take for ages.

yes in fact i think you're right, in the end i also have doubts that it's not laziness but rather addiction
Unfortunately, nothing can give you that adrenaline rush that playing gives you, we just can't do anything about it.
just set limits and don't waste too much money

Laziness and addiction has some common grounds, an addicted person becomes lazy and nonchalant about other things except for their addiction, they always want to find that solace in that which they are addicted to and the pleasure and satisfaction they get after satisfying their addictive cravings sometimes, this is what I have seen mostly with most of the gamblers I consider addicts to gambling.
