Summary/Abstract: The authors attempt to show in the paper the "gambling problem" that is increasingly present in today's society. Although the rule is that the higher is the standard, the people gamble more, in Croatia this is not so because the number of gamers grows much faster than the standard. Each person will not resort to "gambling" and thus endanger their own existence and existence of their family. The problem is mainly present in people with weak or labile character, where there is often a personality disorder problem. In addition to the existential and other problems that "gamblers" bring to themselves and their families, they are reluctant to resort to violent criminal acts such as robbery and murder. In this paper a number of cases from Croatian practice will be presented in the theoretical view of the problem.
