Question

why do asians gamble so much?

Answer 1

wow.. a little prejudiced/racist?

Answer 2

I have asian friends, and from what I have seen they are quite rich and can afford to gamble. But there are other reasons that include.

1.) Various professional poker players are Asian so the trend is followed.

2.) There is Chinese poker as a free pass time.

3.) It might not be against the religion.

4.) They don't have too many recreational sports and use gambling as a form of amusement.

5.) They are populated. Over 1 billion asian people, obviously they will have more number of gamblers.

Actually all races gamble and the only reason might only be that there are a lot of Asian people in this world which is why you notice them more.

Answer 3

not just the Asians, all races do. It is a fun pasttime with good rewards (IF) you win... c'mon!!!

Answer 4

I've wondered this myself.  All high-roller rooms in Vegas seem to be mostly Asian.  And they LOVE Baccarat.

Answer 5

It goes way back to 10,000 BC..When Paijxing Chow ruled all of asia..
