Actually, I understand it now myself. Although games are really attractive, it's not worth getting so addicted that it affects your work and life. Look-- a lot of students really get into gaming. They can't control themselves. Some who are really addicted to online gaming hang around in Internet cafes all day long. They don't even care about going to school. So, recently, there was an education expert who was really popular all over the entire country. He lectured everywhere, helping kids kick their Internet addiction. I saw some desperate parents on TV. It was really moving.
I played a bit. Actually, a lot of people go to Macao not planning to gamble. But in the end, they do. Because the big casinos usually have really fancy hotels. The room fees are very cheap, and you can convert them into chips. Basically, they're always trying to think of ways to get you hooked and make you gamble. If you don't have strong self-discipline, and you get addicted to gambling, I bet even you and your family's safety wouldn't be enough to get you to stop.
