In the journal, Ethics of Gambling? (Chhabra, Fong, Fried, et. al. 2014) presents an ethical assessment of gambling, that shows the roles and impact of gambling in a society.

As specified in the article Tourists’ and Residents’ Perceptions Toward Casino Gaming Development in Hong Kong (Tam , Tsai & Shian McCain, 2012), gaming can have both positive and negative social impacts. The more successful the gaming industry the more taxes and fees the government could get to benefit the local residents and their social welfare. Negative social impacts include problem gambling. Hing (2006) defined problem gambling as “the situation when a person’s gambling activity gives rise to harm to the individual player, and/or to his or her family, and may extend into the community.” When a person with problem gambling wins, he/she will experience great enjoyment.

In the event that Southern Nevada would have remained a piece of Arizona, I trust Nevada as a state would not be exceptionally notable by any stretch of the imagination. This range is extremely dynamic due to having the greater part of the real urban areas and towns that truly characterize Nevada. Despite the fact that this bit of Southern Nevada is not very thickly populated with respect to other states, it is vital to the economy. Southern Nevada's fundamental wellspring of wage is gotten from the vacationer business, on account of the largest, most popular tourist goal in Nevada: Las Vegas.  Due to it's high fame and traveler advance, Nevada is extremely dependent on this city for it's steadily developing, and apparently non-stop revenue.

It is through this shortage of logical evidence and incoherence that Anderson disproves his own argument of “stupid games” (par.3) affecting society. By titling his article “Just One More Game” he implies, that gaming is compulsive. Yet he does not give any demographic, numerical or statistical evidence that gaming is making others compulsive. Nor does he show how it affects society, if that was even the case. In turn his argument is unconvincing to the reader.

Like other substances, death due to overdose is a concern with heroin. While gambling (and, by extension, DFS) can lead to devastating consequences such as financial ruin, there is no case of death due to a physiological response to an overdose in the behavior. Another factor in which heroin and DFS differ is the underlying motive that encourage people to begin indulging in the product.

We believe heroin users are motivated by the physiological effects that the drug has on the body.
