The study includes an evaluation of the investigation, investigation, indictment preparation, and trial process. The results of the analysis showed that the elements of the gambling crime, such as betting activities, gambling tools, and the intentionality of the perpetrator, had been met. The investigation process is carried out in accordance with Article 184 of the Criminal Code, by prioritizing valid evidence such as witness statements, suspect confessions, and evidence. In addition, juridical and non-juridical considerations, including social and economic impacts, also affect the judge's decision in making a decision.
