I clicked on the link, don't have time to spend hours reading it. But, in reality I have lots of Asians in my family (not Chinese) and the level of superstition and belief in related areas are generally higher than I have witnessed in Caucasians. Not just in gambling but in everyday matters as well.

I share the observation. but I got to the article by chance and not by looking for that in google. Perhaps this is a trend around the world but Asians themselves do not see the comparison because the simple reason that they live surrounded by this as their normal state of existence. A point to ponder.

The Asian do more so in gambling than Caucasians from my experiences. As I said it is non gambling as well. Everything from dreams, to the weather, to what you may step in while walking to or from your car, etc. There is lots more but hate to hear the comments so I won't go into detail. It is very much part of their lives.
