ABSTRACT

            Gambling has existed since ancient times as the development of human civilization. The Encyclopedia of Britanica notes that gambling has been discovered since primitive times, for example the Bushmen in South Africa, Aboriginal tribes in Australia and Indian tribes in America, where they have known the dice game. Then gambling developed since the days of Ancient Greece. A variety of gambling games and techniques that are very easy to make gambling quickly develops throughout the world including Indonesia.

            The success of the police in overcoming crime must be required by the integrity of various approaches, which can be broadly divided into a penal approach, through the application of criminal law and non-penal measures, namely prevention policies without the application of criminal law, but rather emphasized on various social policies. This is motivated by the fact that crime is a social problem and a human problem.
