Coljuegos.As the month of December arrives the Colombians begin to increase their activity in those activities related to gambling, according to the president of Coljuegos, Juan B. Pérez this increase happens because in this month there are two situations.
- The desire for entertainment and the hope of winning, which increases the stakes, especially in lotteries with faith concentrated in the jackpot.
Ratifying that Colombians bet more on chance, raffles and lotteries this season, Perez also warned that this year-end season triggers illegality in gambling by approximately 15%, so he made a call to the community to be alert, especially when raffles are offered in the villages, since many times they are not endorsed by a legal entity.
