How is gambling viewed in different cultures and societies?

From my perspective, gambling is seen differently across cultures. In places like Las Vegas and Macau, it's viewed as glamorous and exciting, often linked to entertainment and tourism. However, in many Muslim-majority countries and conservative societies, gambling is considered immoral or harmful and is either banned or heavily regulated. On the other hand, some cultures accept small-scale gambling as part of social activities, such as betting on games or during festivals. Overall, views on gambling are shaped by religious beliefs, cultural norms, and social values.
