| description | Without prejudging the specific function of money in games, the term “gambling” (or literally translated from French, “game of money”) seems to be rather confusing for the scientific understanding of the activities this term actually refers to: We consider it so often as a game for money that we tend to ignore the possibility of it being a game with money. This dual status of money in games is however obvious in the eyes of the Chinese, since in their everyday language there is a lexical distinction between “bet” (for money) and “play” (with money). This sensitivity to the distinction of the status of money in games could probably be justified by a Chinese ethical and legal system which condemns the act of “betting” whilst allowing that of “playing”. This article on the other hand proposes an analysis of the social conditions in which the claim of the status of “player” is not only to comply with the ethical-legal system in question. |
