Abstract

A telephone survey of 2631 US adults was analysed to determine how particular types of gambling and gambling availability were related to problem gambling by age and gender. Casinos produced the most problems per daily participation. Casinos and lottery gambling produced the most society-wide problems. Lotteries, casinos, gambling machines and bingo produced the most overall problems in women; for men it was casinos and cards. Casinos, lotteries and gambling machines produced the most overall problems for people over age 29; for people under 30 it was cards and casinos. Residential proximity to casinos predicted gambling problems in males 30 years or older; for those under 30 friends' approval of gambling predicted gambling problems.
