Gambling is a specific feature of playing, an ontological modality in the evolu- tion of Sapiens’ behavior. Sometimes it can manifest itself as a vice, a pathological «addiction».Today in Italy there is an emergency in this sense. Still, popular forms of gambling are promoted by the state and constitute important incomes. While ludopathy is classified as a real disease. But can we identify it like this without relating it to the player’s conditions? For an individual who has great resources, it can be a luxury, for a person who is in disadvantaged conditions it reveals itself as a serious and dangerous tendency. It is a question of reasonableness and measure. However, can the right to hope be denied? It is a difficult issue, a multidimensional, ambiguous phenomenon, to be investigated with a multidisciplinary and complex conceptual instrumentation.
