- Gambling in Canada-1996
-
Spend few dollars on the lottery and your wildest dreams could come true Buy raffle
ticket support worthy cause and maybe youll strike it rich along the way Escape the
humdrum of everyday life with the glitz and glitter of the casino Its small price to pay for
an evenings entertainment
All the messages in the advertising about gambling are positive Never mind the
astronomical odds against winning millions of dollars You could be the one who beats the odds
and be set for life The television ad for the New York state lottery probably says it best Hey
you never know
What the advertising carefully sidesteps is the dark side of gambling Literally hundreds
of thousands of Canadians are problem gamblers and their addiction takes terrible toll on
themselves their friends and families and society as whole Families break up bills dont get
paid and people take time off work because of their obsession with gambling At its worst
problem gambling degenerates into world of criminal activities spurred by the gamblers frantic
search for money from every possible source
Gambling in Canada is dispassionate look at activities that have become major pastimes
for Canadians within the past generation It documents the popularity of gambling and its
importance as source of revenue for provincial and territorial governments It assesses host
of studies on problem gambling and its social and financial impacts Finally it urges the
governments who benefit most from gambling to mitigate its worst effects Perhaps the most
controversial recommendation in the report is ban on video lottery terminals or VLTs outside
of casinos or casino-like settings
Many of the statistics and studies of gambling that are highlighted in this report were
published or commissioned by provincial agencies that oversee gambling in their jurisdictions
The National Council of Welfare appreciates the efforts of these agencies and hopes they fmd
our conclusions and recommendations worth pursuing
