    The gambling community numbers tens of millions of people around the world, but there are countries in which gambling is most popular. There, people choose for themselves different types of entertainment - casinos like CasinoChan Canada, slot machines, betting, or lotteries, but all of them are united by the unconditional love of gambling and games.

    The consulting company H2 Gambling Capital annually analyzes the legal gambling market, taking into account many criteria, and determines the average annual amount spent on gambling by residents of different countries. Based on these data, a list of the most gambling states and nations is made.

    Australia

    Gambling is an integral part of life for many Australians. About 80% of the country's adult citizens regularly gamble. According to experts, the widespread distribution of these entertainments in Australia is facilitated by the absence of a state tax on winnings.

    About half of the players in Australia prefer slot machines, which are called pokies here. You don't need to search for a casino here to play slot machines. They can be found almost everywhere - in bars, shops, shopping centers, and other crowded places.

    The other half of gamblers love betting. Of course, as elsewhere, sports betting is the most common in Australia, especially in football, cricket, and horse racing. However, gambling Australians do not lose the opportunity to arrange a sweepstake on the results of local elections or even on the exchange rate for the coming days.

    Singapore

    The gambling market in Singapore is relatively young. The first gambling establishment opened here in 2010. Prior to that, from gambling to Singaporeans, only the state lottery Singapore Pools was available. Now they can play slot machines and other casino games, place bets at bookmakers, and test their fortune in lotteries.

    The development of the gambling industry in Singapore was initiated by the local government in order to attract the attention of tourists. However, the local population also appreciated the range of gambling and joined the community of gamblers.

    The most popular gambling entertainment in Singapore is betting on football matches. In second place are online casinos that offer thousands of different video slots.

    Ireland

    We all know about passionate and gambling Irish gamblers from films and TV series. They spend the most money among gambling on sports betting. Especially popular are football, rugby and horse racing.

    Against the background of the general enthusiasm for sweepstakes, a special kind of leisure has even appeared in Ireland - lad culture, when men gather in sports bars and pubs, drink and watch broadcasts of matches on which they have placed their bets.

    Also, casinos are popular among the Irish - both online and offline. In virtual casinos, they play slots, and in physical casinos, they play traditional card games.

    Canada

    The casino industry is quite developed in Canada. Gambling establishments are regularly visited by both Canadians and tourists. For the local population, gambling is one of the best forms of entertainment. With the advent and legalization of online casinos, they have also become incredibly popular.

    Canadians also pay attention to sweepstakes. It is natural that most often they place bets on the results of hockey matches, as well as competitions in alpine skiing and snowboarding.

    Lotteries are especially fond of Canadians. Research shows that 75% of the adult population regularly buys lottery tickets and participates in sweepstakes. In addition, they often give each other tickets for birthdays or other holidays.

    Finland

    The gambling business in Finland is owned by the state. All gambling revenues go to the state budget, which is why gambling is very common in Finland. Statistics show that one in three Finnish adults regularly play in casinos, place bets in sweepstakes, or buy lottery tickets.

    All types of gambling are allowed in Finland, however, given the state monopoly, the number of traditional casinos is not that great. However, halls with slot machines are quite common throughout the country. Also, residents of Finland can play in online casinos offered by state operators, or in foreign virtual establishments.

    Finnish people love slot machines and card games, but lotteries are even more popular with them. They can choose from over 10 different lottery options. Also, the state operator provides various types of betting services that the Finns like no less.
