When you're rich you have a world of possibilities at your fingertips, you can fly wherever you want, find thousands of different forms of entertainment and just generally have a very fun life. Most people without money get into gambling because they desire more money and think they've found some short cut to it. However the house always wins and it is baked into all the odds of every casino game, even the bookmakers are pretty effective at winning too. If you have lots of money in your pocket, you're actually less inclined to take big risks because swapping something for nothing is a silly proposition. They also tend to be more highly educated and that will inevitably mean they are less vulnerable to all the pitfalls involved with gambling.
