Gambling Addiction
Roughly 60% of Americans gamble during a given year and 85% during their lifetime. Problem gamblers tend to risk their money on whatever game is available, but with a preference for fast paced gambling. So most would prefer blackjack, poker, slots or casino games over slower paced games like Keno and the lottery. The prevalence of program gambling in the USA is in the neighbourhood of 2-3% and pathological gambling around 1% of Americans - so there is alot of people effected by this problem.
