Resumo
The language of compulsive gamblers' statements is likely to explain their symbolic relationship to the world. From this perspective, one examines the mythic images of the senses of linguistic signifiers. Through testimonies of compulsive gamblers collected on the internet, it is reflected on the anthropological path of the player's imaginary of illegal games and their myth. The theoretical assumptions of this work are based on the anthropology of the imaginary of Gilbert Durand, according to which the relation of the subject to the object can be represented by an image. Playing with chance or odds can have the symbolic sense of trading with fate. Being able to control one's fate is possible only to the gods, the immortal beings. Therefore, the space of illegal gambling is a profane space in contact with the sphere of the sacred, which enables this illusion of playing with destiny. In this sense, the game can be seen as a mythical experience.
