Gambling problems among gaming venue employees: a preliminary survey
Abstract
In recent years, gaming venues have devoted considerable resources to lowering their patrons' risk of developing gambling problems. However, far less attention has been given to lowering this risk for gaming venue employees, even though numerous workplace factors can enhance the attractiveness of gambling. This article reports on a small survey of 56 gaming venue staff, which conducted as part of a larger project investigating workplace influences on the gambling behaviour of gaming venue employees.
