Oh, and my son refused to accept the "addiction" part of it, because there was no physical addiction.

Oh, there's a physical addiction. Any addiction, whether to chemicals or not, plays on the same reward pathways in the human brain. If you scanned the brain of the gambling addict in this story in response to gambling, it would look basically the same as the brain of a cocaine addict would in response to cocaine.
