Gambling cultures are subcultures that can develop at any gambling venue. The venue is usually a casino or racetrack where players can spend hours at a time. Players get to know the staff, build relationships, and develop new ways of interacting. These relationships are inviting and socially rewarding for people who have relationship issues outside of gambling, even if this may be due to gambling too much.
