When I was last in Vegas I arrived in the same week that someone won $12,000,000 on a slot machine at the Wynn. When you place a dollar into a slot machine it is theoretically possible to win a life altering amount of money. Even on a smaller scale a friend of mine won $6,000 on a slot machine from an investment of just $40.
It is quite exciting to know that you are one spin, one card, one roll of the dice, away from a bunch of money. People get hooked on that excitement.
I know someone who is a gambling addict. He moved to Vegas believing himself to be a great poker player. He blew $3,000 in less than three hours, an amount that equaled more than half of his life savings. He got so upset about it he drank himself into oblivion and lost his job the next day, by not showing up.
Who knows why people make these decisions. But then I don't understand why people risk their lives doing extreme sports. Some people live for that rush no matter how dangerous or ill-advised it might be.
As for rich people gambling, they will often gamble for high stakes, where there is still a rush of winning or losing. I've read that Bill Gates always plays very low stakes when he goes to Vegas. To him he is not after the thrill of winning or losing, he is content with a bit of low stakes fun.

some people gamble for fun, some gamble for the rush, some people gamble to become rich or richer, some gamble due to stupidity, some gamble because they are simply selfish, oh let's not forget the excuse "gamble addiction"

Because they are thinking that the next dime they spend will wind up being the one that makes them win. Then on the drive home they are kicking them self's all the way home... What is really bad is some never learn...
