I don't know...I've known family members caught up in gambling.. friends too.. knew a guy who committed suicide, knew a guy who nearly went to jail cause he stole cheques.

Really don't know what it is. DNA? I like to gamble too but have to be very very careful. Have to have a budget.
I don't know the reasons why, but there is definitely a cultural push towards asian gambling. In Singapore I noticed little hole in the wall bookies everywhere that only had a couple televisions that showed horse race results and other stuff like that. Every single bookie I came across was packed at night as well. I haven't been, but apparently Macau is much bigger than Las Vegas and brings in a lot more money. Think about that.
