Top 5 most gambling countries
Many people spend their money on gambling every year. And even failure does not stop gamblers. Every year, studies are conducted by special organizations to collect statistics on how much is spent per year on gambling in a casino. According to the data obtained, we can conclude that the country is the most gambling in the world. Let’s take a look at the top 5 countries with the highest spending among citizens on gambling.
In fifth place in the top is Finland. Despite being a small country in itself, gambling costs $514 a year. And every week about 41% of adult citizens visit casinos. Most of the players are people over the age of eighteen, since this industry is strictly controlled by the state. The Ministry of Education is at the head of the management of the largest institution in the country. Consequently, most of the earnings are given to the development of art, culture, and educational institutions.

Canada is next on the list of the most gambling countries in the world. On average, the costs of local residents for slots, lottery, sweepstakes, poker, roulette and blackjack are about $528 per year. The number of adult players is 75%. Due to the huge popularity of gambling in the country, social advertising has been launched for citizens with clarifications of some points.
The 3rd place is occupied by Ireland, which is the most gambling among European countries. The annual cost of gambling in this country is $547. If in the past there was a law regulating the gambling business (the maximum bet was no more than 6 pence, the maximum win was 10 shillings), then in 1999 the country switched to another currency – the euro. And as a result, the law lost its force, and gambling houses flooded the whole country.
Despite the fact that the first casino opened in Singapore in 2010, it has become one of the leaders among the gaming industry. Every resident of this city-state spends about $1,093 per year on gambling. Many residents suffer from gambling addiction, which is why the casino has an entrance fee of 80 US dollars. The country even created a so-called “family exclusion” system, according to which it was possible to achieve an official ban on a relative from visiting gambling establishments if he regularly lost money.
The owner of the honorable first place in this top is Australia. A resident of this country spends about $1,199 on gambling annually. 80% of gamblers give their preference to slot machines, which have a huge number of varieties. Bets are accepted on almost everything, for example, you can bet on the exchange rate set by the Central Bank of the country for tomorrow.
We have considered only those countries in which gambling is legal. But, perhaps, there are other, more gambling countries in which gambling is not legalized.
As a result, we can say that the ban on gambling is useless, as people start playing underground, and do not get rid of this addiction. Because of what the state loses income from such hobbies, and the level of corruption increases.
