But if they are happy to spend their money on the playing of the game...it's not like they are being tricked any more than the purchaser of an overpriced handbag.

Go to Vegas. Look at the expressions on the faces of people playing. Almost nobody looks happy there.

As far as I know, handbag addiction is not a serious problem. Gambling addiction is.
