There are now more ways than ever before for Britons to win money – and lots of it. But is our love of lotto a healthy way to increase our wellbeing, or a dangerous step toward more consuming forms of gambling? There are now more ways than ever before for Britons to win money. There is optimism and then there is delusion. Take loveable loser Lloyd Christmas, for instance, played by Jim Carrey in cult film classic Dumb & Dumber. When the reluctant object of his affections tells him there is only a one in a million chance of her going out with him, he takes the news pretty well. ‘So you’re telling me there’s a chance? YEEAAAH!’ |

New Zealanders prefer to take their gambling money online instead of spending it on outdated land-based poker machines. Blackjack casinos online in New Zealand are welcoming more and more players this winter, and for once it has nothing to do with any government in power. The signs show that there was a dramatic drop in land-based casino spending last year. The people however, are not getting to tight-fisted when it comes to their cash. Nobody is skimping and saving for that rainy day. At least not in appearance. Instead, the former visitors of the land-based casinos have found a new addiction, online gambling sites in New Zealand. Or so it is rumored. According to casino gambling news in New Zealand, online poker sites are the latest craze to hit New Zealand gamers, and with so much of their money being spent online, from the comfort of their own homes, the land-based casinos might well be feeling the drop in numbers.

The Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling today urged lawmakers to proceed with caution when deciding whether to legalize Internet gambling in Connecticut. Marvin Steinberg, the council's executive director, told the General Assembly's finance committee that the convenience and anonymity of online gambling, in addition to the absence of social cues, make this form of gaming particularly dangerous. Although illegal forms of Internet gambling are already as close as a cursor click, Steinberg predicted that more people would log on if the state moves to legalize and tax online gaming. "Promotion, especially by the state, sanctions it, so more people who haven't done it before try it," said Steinberg, who is retiring this week after more than 30 years with the private, nonprofit agency. |

A confession by a gambling addict reveals that gambling is very common among high school students and that the seeds for addiction are sown during high school or sometimes even during the primary school years. Many addicts of games of chance such as Milli Piyango, Sayisal Loto, Spor Toto and Iddia are being treated to overcome their addiction. Confessions by addicts reveal that such addictions start at an early age. One former gambling addict, Eren Kadiz, who started placing bets in high school and overcame his six-year-long Iddia addiction, told Today’s Zaman that 90 percent of his friends at school were playing Iddia, a type of sports betting, always carrying their Iddia papers, which include betting tips and bulletins that show which matches are available for betting on instead of bringing their books to school. |

In 2011, Macau casino gambling revenue increased by 42 percent, bringing it to a high of $33.47 billion. This is in large part due to the increasing traffic of very wealthy Chinese from the mainland who come to Macau, a Chinese territory, to play in the casinos. Unlike the rest of China, where casinos are banned, they are quite in fashion in Macau, which is what brings many Chinese in This total revenue is said to be approximately five or six times more than what the gamblers in Las Vegas or Singapore casinos were believed to have spent throughout the 2011 calendar year. PricewaterhouseCoopers did the estimates and also made note that the Macau casino industry will most likely double its total revenue by 2016. According to Aaron Fischer the head of Asian consumer and gaming research at CLSA, a brokerage firm based in Hong Kong, no one expected the market in Macau to grow as quickly or as much as it did. Everyone was expecting possibly a 20 percent growth, and that was seen as very bullish at the time.
