不管是法律允许的福利彩票,还是“遍地开花”的民间赌博,地下赌场所引起的社会成本都应该引起重视。对于很多人来说,博彩是一种放松的娱乐方式,而一些人则渴望通过博彩“一夜致富”;对于很多国家来说,博彩是重新分配财富的一种有效方式,利用博彩业筹集资金用于公益事业在这些国家非常普遍,而对于一些国家和地区来说,博彩业俨然成为国民经济支柱。但毋庸置疑,赌风猖獗以及因赌而生的种种问题亦不容小觑。 Whether it is a welfare lottery permitted by law or a folk gambling “everywhere”, the social costs of underground casinos deserve attention. For many people, gambling is a way to relax, while others are eager to get rich overnight. For many countries, gambling is an effective way to redistribute wealth by using the gambling industry to raise money Funds for public welfare are very common in these countries, while for some countries and regions, the gaming industry has become the backbone of the national economy. There is no doubt, however, that gambling is rampant and the problems arising from gambling are not to be underestimated.
