See, this is what I have against statistics. Neither I, nor anyone in my family have ever gambled, yet now SAns spend R 8 000.00 per adult per year on gambling. I have seen many Chin.ese and India.n/Pakistan.i people gambling when we go eat at BBQ, so I'd really like to know if casinos know everyone's citizenship. Report Abuse

I don't gamble at all. I don't even play Lotto. Closest I come to gambling is playing for matchsticks in a Gin Rummy game.
About 25 years ago, there used to be a bookie that went by the name of Fats. After one of the races, all the bookies went down to Suncity. Fats lost R100,000 on one roll of the roulette wheel - I have never forgotten how horrified I was to see it. He just laughed it off Report Abuse
