gamblers yet their involvement in today's gambling world is very
significant. Origin of gambling by women dates back to some near
past but after stepping once into this arena they have displayed
immense aptitude towards gambling. Following the legalization of
gambling industry there was an evident increase in number of
women who gambled. Earlier women were not supposed to indulge
