    To what extent would you argue that gambling is immoral? The law of the United States forbids gambling for those under the age of 18, and prohibits betting in most cases for fear of tax evasion.

    Do you think this should change?

    Gambling in my opinion is just fine, if it under control! It should be for fun and not for gaining money!

    It's immoral when the person in question is literally down to their last $100, and they decide to go double or nothing. If they come up empty handed, then what? It's people like this that unfortunately compel most brainless and/or deceptive governments to strip rights away from us (as we've seen with the U.S. Second Amendment or the Drug War). Just because a few people made a mistake, doesn't mean the other 99.9% of the population should be punished for it.

    Is the gambling industry corrupt? Maybe? Probably? Who knows? But anyone who does gamble (namely with the machines), should know know beforehand that they're set up by design to only give a prize out to every 200-300 spins, maybe more, maybe less, the rigging of these machines all depends. If they didn't rig these said machines, the gambling industry would be gambling with itself and would logically be in extremely deep debt by now if everything (hypothetically) was set up legitimately.
