Demons and Lust

The demon paired with the deadly sin of lust was Asmodeus one of the kings of demons. Asmodeus is responsible for twisting people's sexual desires. It is said that people who fall to Asmodeus' ways will be sentenced to an eternity in the second level of hell.
He has seventy-two legions of demons under his command. He is one of the Kings of Hell under Lucifer the emperor. He incites gambling, and is the overseer of all the gambling houses in the court of Hell. 
He "is strong, powerful and appears with three heads; the first is like a bull, the second like a man, and the third like a ram; the tail of a serpent, and from his mouth issue flames of fire." Also, he sits upon an infernal dragon, holds a lance with a banner and governs seventy two legions of inferior spirits.
The idea of this demon also corrupting people with desires other than the desire of sex and pleasure, gambling is also mentioned giving me the idea of creating a giant casino table where people are spun on the roulette tables and made of casino machines.
