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.
Moreover, I think the biggest reason is that not even 1 percent of the world's population is really rich, the remaining 99% of people basically fall into different categories like middle class, lower class, etc. So if we consider this aspect, then automatically, since the number of rich people is less, the chances of them being addicted to gambling will also be less. On the other hand, where the number of poor people is much higher, if 5% of them become addicted, it will continue to affect the population of rich people. And for this, we basically think that rich people do not get addicted to gambling.
