| Message | Small time gambling with friends in private homes....ok. Once you get into the bigger bucks, mafias and gangs will take control and this can lead to problems over time...sorry i do not agree. |

| Message | I would have put in that it was private homes only for small amounts as well as casinos, but there wasn't an option like that. |

| Message | That's because the government doesn't count small time gambling as actual gambling. That's why there is no law. The only place where you see no gambling, regardless of size is generally in Brutal Theocracies. |
