Introduction - Throw the dice
In this section we’re going to look at teen gambling. Gambling is where you take part in an activity and risk money or a valuable object (like your Iphone/a video game etc.) so that you can win money.
Gambling is a game of chance, although there are some games that involve skills.
Gambling can be with slot machines, lotteries, bingo, card games, pool, darts, horse racing etc. Most card games are chance. The skill is in knowing what to do if you have been dealt a poor hand. But there are no guarantees that you will win.
Gambling seems harmless, right? Wrong! For some people, it can become a serious addiction, just like drugs, tobacco or alcohol.
