Older Adults and Casino Gambling: Behaviors, Motivations, and Risk
The New England ATTC, in partnership with the Rhode Island Council on Problem Gambling, is hosting this targeted TA session with subject matter expert Mark Van Der Maas, PhD. As younger age groups move to online gambling, older adults remain an important demographic for the casino industry.
This course will look into the motivations that older adults have to visit the casino, what behaviors and characteristics are associated with higher risk of Gambling Disorder, and potential shifts in older adults as the baby boom generation dominates what we consider as "older adult". How these findings reflect the promotional practices of casinos and vulnerabilities of older adults will also be explored.
