| 82% of the population believe that children under the age of 18 should not be allowed to play fruit machines; 94% think that allowing people to gamble using credit cards would put people at greater risk of incurring gambling debts; 82% think that people are more likely to lose money if they drink alcohol while drinking; 56% would not be happy for a casino to open where they live. In many ways, problem gambling is an unseen addiction. | |
