2000 people were surveyed on why they gamble. Here we have put together the top 8 reasons they gave us for gambling in casinos, sportsbooks, and poker games.
People have been arguing for years whether the desire to gamble is good or bad. It is the view of many people that gambling is bad, this is especially true with the more religious people. Others will tell you that gambling is good and that without taking risk which is a form of gambling we would not have much of what we have today without people gambling and risking what they had to get more.
>From the 2000 people surveyed we received over 400 different answers as to why they were gambling, but the top 8 reasons were:
Money problems: It seems there are many people who believe they can fix there money problems with gambling. Most of the people who claimed that money problems were the reason for them gambling lost more money gambling then they originally owed and had they not gambled would not have been so bad off according to them. Of this group none said they had managed to win the money they needed. I was surprised to see how many people out of the 2000 questioned gave this as their response.
Wedding: Apparently having a wedding at some of the larger casinos is Las Vegas or Atlantic City is becoming popular, apparently the casinos will give you an excellent price on the wedding hall and rooms for your guests, of course they do this with the knowledge that the guests will spend money in the casino so giving a good rate n the wedding is in there best interest.
To have fun: These people had the right idea. They only wanted to have some fun take a little trip to the Casino, have some free drinks, play some games and if they win, good and if not that’s ok also. These people came down with a certain amount they could lose and not be upset or broke and they stick to it. These people all seemed to be reaching there goal not one of them was complaining about how close they came to hitting big or what if they had just done this or that.
To win and become rich: Of all the people interviewed these people seemed to be the least crazy. They came to the casino with hopes of getting rich and being able to quit there jobs and live the good life, but they also know that the chances are good they would all have to get up Monday morning and return to work.
For a bachelor party: >From how high on the list these was it would seem that a trip to the casinos on the grooms last nights of bachelorhood are becoming more and more popular.
To get out of the house: I noticed almost all of the people in his category were all males and were all married for more them 10 years and had kids. They said they like to come to the casino on average about once a month stay for a few hours, play some games and then head home.
Family Vacation: Las Vegas in the last 10 years has become a popular place to bring the family. Las Vegas has many attractions for family fun. And in the evening after the kids go to sleep there is also plenty of adult entertainment.
Business Meeting: Many companies hold meetings and conventions in the casinos, because they give good group discounts, and the companies like it because their employees and do business during the day and relax and have some fun in their spare time.
