There is one “exception” Pak Fred, that being cock fighting on Bali.  While not considered “legal” under the law, it is overlooked by the police so long as it’s associated with a temple ceremony. 

There might be hope for gamblers in the future as discussions continue about the possibility of making Nusa Penida, Bali into a casino haven.  The thinking is along the lines of “why let Macao and Singapore rake in all the cash?”
