| Description | Dr. Dean Gerstein discusses the socioeconomic impacts of commercial gaming such as casino, lottery, and Internet sectors. He reveals steady declines in other wagering businesses along this flourishing retail market and how gambling losses now exceed consumer expenditures on movie tickets, books, magazines, sports events, and amusement parks combined and are roughly equivalent to total purchase of alcoholic beverages (or cigarettes). Dr. Dean Gerstein signifies family disruption due to this market. A recent California survey indicates that as much as half of current gambling expenditures flow from the 4% of adults who meet screening criteria for problem of pathological gambling. These mental/behavioral disorders define the upper tier of hierarchy of gambling behavior patterns. These disorders bear a strong resemblance to psychoactive substance use disorders. Pathological and problem gambling are broadly dispersed across the general population characteristics, including being disabled, depressed, unemployed, criminal, divorced, single, young, African American, and, especially, male. |
