Permissible gambling
1. PERMISSIBLE GAMBLING
It's a fact that the
legalization of some
forms of gambling paved
the way for the
construction of gaming
establishments catering
for these services
everywhere both public
and private. While some
argue that gambling
forms part of social ills the public have to deal with,
indeed, the many benefits gambling contributes far
outweighs the social costs it generates.
Gambling has become increasingly popular. According to
the Minnesota Department of Human Services survey
(2003), more than 80 percent of U.S. adults have engaged
once in gambling in the previous year. This figure alone
gives you an idea how much money is generated from this
commerce.
There are a considerable number of legal forms of
gambling and innumerable places to look for them but
before jumping into those busy tables let's have some
checklists determining which works best for you without
you getting into trouble.
• Casinos are the way to go - If you would like to
experience something more personal, land based
casinos are the best place to go. Casinos
accommodate majority of the most popular gambling
activities. You can play games of all sorts from poker
to slot machines.
2. • Stop, Look, and Listen! - More often than not
friends and acquaintances provide you valuable
information and help you decide which place is best
place to sweat on that excitement.
• Go high-tech - Latest research shows that 2 out
of 25 Internet users have wagered on gaming
centers online. Love casinos but do not have much of
time to travel? Try it online.
• Watch out for Software! - Legitimate gaming
companies openly inform the public which gaming
software they use to operate on their respective
sites. Among those that still remain popular and are
protected by gaming policies are Bossmedia,
Wagerlogic, and Microgaming although some use
Playtech or Cryptologic. Keep away from
Iglobalmedia, Electra Games, Handa-Lopez.
• Lottery - For most of us
who cannot afford casinos,
there is still another way to
make that bet! Lottery is the
answer. This form of
gambling is perhaps
largely participated and
the cheapest way to put
wager on. Select and win!
• Gamble with Sports - If
you love both worlds, a
handful of organized sports events like football or
baseball allows you to place your bets on your
favorite team through official wagers or bookmakers.
In fact a handful of card games made their way to
3. sports. One of them is Poker while others are still
being played in-house such as Baccarat.
• Gamble Responsibly - While it’s true that we
gamble for entertainment, we cannot underestimate
the fact that some are predisposed to addiction. Only
spend what you can afford to lose!
