Presuming that it is treated responsibly as a potentially harmful pastime, gambling can be an awful lot of fun.

The urge to wager and the rush of risk are almost ubiquitous throughout humanity - which probably accounts for the number of auto/theocrats who have attempted to curtail it in various ways.

I'll give you an example from my homeland (the United Kingdom). We don't have a great many casinos, but if you choose to enter one with £40, you can enjoy an evening's worth of entertainment, along with a few pints at a reduced cost (being partly subsidised). That's far less than the cost of an average night on the town.

If you do a little homework and learn basic blackjack betting optimisation (some casinos actually offer basic strategy to players on handcards) you can make your bankroll last for hours.

As with any other potentially dangerous activity, gambling is perfectly possible to enjoy without coming to harm.
