Gambling amongst Goreans, as amongst those of my former world, can range from a pastime and a pleasure, something enjoyable and dismissible, to an obsession and an agony, a compulsive destructive force very much akin to an addiction, such as that to the dangerous and powerful drug, kanda. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 30, Sentence #104)
