🃏 Why do we gamble? The answer may lie in our social role
Sometimes gambling is not only a way to have fun, but also a way to feel part of a group. Friends invite you to poker, colleagues discuss sports betting, families play bingo together. This creates a special atmosphere in which everyone feels "in their place".
Even in the online environment, people continue to look for this sense of community: in casino chats, tournaments, player communities. This is a modern way to be "in the know" and not fall out of the social circle.

I like to watch how people express themselves through play. My friends and I have a tradition - once a month we organize a home 'casino day'. There is so much laughter, communication and support that the excitement is just a pleasant addition.
