Gambling is a pass-time for some people. Therefore, it will not be a surprise to find rich people gambling. Infact, when you visit a casino, its the rich people that occupy most of the gambling tables. They have money that they can lose with getting hurt. For a poor or moderate man, losing whatever you are using to gamble might lead to high blood pressure. Therefore, if I were rich, I will still gamble because i earn some pleasure from it.
Rich usually just waste their money in the casino and get extraordinary pleasure by doing it. While on the other side, poor people try to gamble hoping to win huge amount using a small amount of bet. That is really the difference, most of the prone people are addicted to gambling compared to rich people because rich just play occasionally.
