Discovering Helsinki's Social Scene: A Cultural Exploration Of Gambling For Visitors

As a Nordic country in Northern Europe, Finland is reputed by many to be one of the happiest countries on Earth. Blanketed by vast swathes of forests and lakes, it is home to some of the last untouched wildernesses on the globe. This close connection Finns have with nature is said to be at the heart of their overall joy, alongside more tangible societal aspects such as high-quality healthcare, a balanced education system and a strong economy. Another common form of satisfaction in Finland is participation in gambling, in a country where around 80% of the population partakes regularly, making it the fourth largest in terms of engagement globally.
