It is all beer and skittles right from the invention of gambling, and this notion should be kindled even today. Gambling should be an entertaining pursuit, and therefore should be viewed as a pleasurable activity we indulge in during our leisure time – inducing that adrenaline rush. So, gear up for that reasonable recreation time!

Some do not condone any form of betting, while others that state gaming is illegal will allow lottery and bingo games. Since these are also forms of gaming, the question begs what defines legality. For some people, a visit to a casino is fun. They try their luck, wager responsibly, have a good time and understand that gambling is a form of entertainment. They enjoy the excitement of the casino, the fine restaurants, the shows and the other amenities found in casino hotels. For a small number of people, however, gambling isn't fun. “Gambling is a form of entertainment, but it’s not meant to relieve pressure and to make money or to solve a financial issue,” said Janet Miller, the executive director for the Louisiana.

An academic study by Sridhar Narayanan, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Stanford GSB and Puneet Manchuanda, Assistant Professor of Marketing at Michigan’s Ross School of Business, after having performed an empirical study examined two significant aspects of the industry. The first question being, is gambling compulsive? And the most pertinent question, do consumers exhibit irrational behaviour?

And the answer is simple, yes compulsive gambling is not a fallacy but a reality – but it was just 8 percent of the consumers. The addiction might be because of battling against certain inner demons. Still, in actuality, casinos are chiefly amusement destinations. There’s the grandiosity to feast your eyes and luxuriate while you indulge in your favourite bottle of whiskey, or watch your preferred show.

The research also threw light on the fixed threshold on the money they are inclined to spend. This threshold is because most of the gamblers are aware that they are more likely to lose in the long run, hence can only endure limited losses. Since we are all rational beings, it’s just like going to a movie on a date, while you savour those caramelized popcorn, you mentally set a budget.
