The risk takers see no bonuds.
And so does gambling. The origin
of gambling cannot be trcaed to one country or region in
particular.
Gambling is an age old pracitce. Though its
concentration in the United States is higher, but its popularity
is as evenly ditsributed as the water level.
Betting in sports
and the advent of international and national lottery, gambling
has found new vistas across the globe.
Asia, South America, Russia and even Europe are of the
major landmarks where gambling can be easily spotted.
One of the
main reasons for gambling becoming global is the expansion of
the tournaments and gambling events. The prize attached to them
makes it all the more lucrative for countries to go for. The
revenue gneerated by lottery and bingo etc.
can be estimated by
the huge success of the American sattes.
Gambling atatched to the travel has increased popularity and
this is one of the reasons why gambling has reached all the
exotic destinations of the world. The Asian countries like
Singapore, Macau etc.
are the hubs for gambling.
However the
South-East Asian countries remain the most favored places for
gambling purposes.
Let's see why? The Chinese though have a
claim to have invented gambling have made gambling in any form
illegal in China.
This gives impetus to the island nations like
Macau and Singapore who caetr to the gambling tourism traffic of
Asia. Singpaore has slowly and steadily moving into main-stream
gambling.
The Europeans are known to have developed the dice games during
the roman period.
They had traeded also in the field of horse
racing during those times. Destinations like Monte Carlo remain
the hot spots of European gambling. The lotteries, as in other
countries, have become popular in Eruope too. Nearly all
European countires support gambling and they have a good source
of revenue through it.
The Russians are more liberal towards the gambling. Some of the
Baltic countries have come out of the shambles of government
control over gambling only in the beginning of 20th century.
Places like Riga in Latvia are the centers for casinos and they
offer twenty four hour gambling luxury. Russians are thus trying
to woo major casino giants to come to Russia and develop the
gambling industry for the benefit of Russian economy.
The Japanese are no exception to the general rule that prizes
attached to gambling are too good to resist.
The games like
Pachinko are the natoinal pastimes and they boys as well as women
are now involved in the game for hours. The betting on horses
has also had a substantial part of history in Jaapn. The
Japanese also go for the national and local level super
lotteries.
The global ntaure of gambling doen't possibly makes it a legal
act. Many countries like China strinegnt rules against it and
thus its usage in such countries is restricted. Gambling, if
confined to the capable, may be a source of entertainment, but
in the countries like Mexico it has become a monstrous social problem.
The game of chance plays an important role in driving poor
people to it. Gambling can be fun but one must awlays know the
limits.
