NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Sept. 18 (UPI) -- U.S. adults age 55 and older reported gambling an average of 17 years before having themselves banned from casinos, researchers said.
Researchers Lia Nower of the Rutgers University Center for Gambling Studies and Alex Blaszczynski of the University of Sydney in Australia looked at 1,601 self-described problem gamblers who asked between 2001 and 2003 to be banned from Missouri casinos.
