The subject of this lesson is 'Gambling'.
In this section we’re going to look at teen gambling.
Gambling is taking part in an activity that involves the risk of losing money or a valuable object (like your Iphone/a video game etc.) But it can also involve winning money. Gambling is a game of chance, although there are some games that require skills. Gambling can be with slot machines, lotteries, bingo, card games, pool, darts, horse racing etc.
Most card games Aren't only about chance. A card game requires the skill of knowing what to do if you have been dealt a poor hand. However, having the skill is not a guarantee that you will win.
Gambling seems harmless, but is it? It certainly isn't! For some people, it can become a serious addiction, just like drugs, tobacco or alcohol.
