ICE Totally Gaming 2014, the largest conference for international gaming and gambling, wraps up its third and final day in London on Thursday. Thousands have gathered this year to discuss and celebrate the global gambling industry, which raked in a sizable $440 billion in 2013.

But when the industry wins, it means there are plenty of losers around the world. The U.S. remains the biggest market for gambling, with gamblers losing $119 billion in 2013, according to data from H2 Gambling Capital. China takes the next spot, with losses adding up to $76 billion.
