Gambling's Social Impact Gambling has been in existence for nearly as long as mankind has been on earth. Its origins can be traced to Egypt and Assyria, and it can be traced back through the Hebrews, Egyptians and even Romans. λ¨Ήνκ²μ¦ Gambling was most likely the most popular form of gambling people participated in the past. Gambling was the most popular game in those societies. It was popular because it was easy and readily accessible. Gambling was the primary social activity of that time, and it was central to all other activities. Gambling has been banned in a lot of countries today However, it's carried out in the same manner as it was in the past times. Gambling was among the oldest of human activities, as shown by artifacts and written material found in tombs from the past and elsewhere. From there, it was just a short step from betting on the outcomes of the throws. The Bible contains a number of verses about the evil that may come from gambling in the city of Rome. This is the reason the Romans legalized gambling in 1st century C.E. Gambling was also made illegal in other countries in the beginning of 1900's. Recent studies have proven that gambling isn't terribly harmful to the body. While most gamblers are heavy gamblers who are able to spend a lot of money and put lots of pressure in their gambling There are some moderate gamblers who are able to make a profit and don't drive themselves to madness. Las Vegas and Atlantic City have casinos that are legal and offer gamblers the chance to win massive sums of money, play in various sports, and eat at some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world. Gamblers who are long-time gamblers can sometimes get hooked on the excitement of winning, and might be able to gamble responsibly while doing it. On the other side gambling can have negative effects on society. Many gamblers become addicted to the thrill of winning and losing , and may be willing to sacrifice their savings in order to win some money. It is important for these people to realize that the effects of gambling on society are not as bad as they might believe. There are some great places to gamble , and these casinos are generally clean and have very accommodating and friendly employees. The social consequences of gambling are not widely recognized because most gamblers don't spend the majority of their time at the casino. Most people will sit down once in a time and play a little but there is no need to invest much money to do it. The staff members at casinos are welcoming and make sure you feel welcome. There are many great places for you to gamble and most of the time you won't even know the difference. The legal issues associated with gambling are more lenient than the social ones. For instance alcohol isn't as much of a problem with gambling as it is with lotteries and casino gambling. People have been accused of drinking in a number of these locations and, therefore, why would they gamble? The same cannot be said about gambling in other states. In fact, gambling is banned in many states, though some states allow it on Sundays, and there are some local exceptions. Of course the issue of pathological gambling is the most significant issue. This type of gambling involves any game that makes gambling more enjoyable or even more likely to happen. Gambling is as easy as paying high prices for things such as slot machines or gambling. Some people use blackjack in bars for a night out with friends, but most people gamble on a regular basis. Experts agree that gambling with a pathological nature should be recognized as such. However, there is no doubt that gambling can have a a significant social impact and cause significant social issues if not properly controlled.
