Gambling

Recent news reports have revealed an alarming trend in the gambling industry. Slot machines are now featuring child-enticing themes including Candyland, which is popular among very young children, other board games such as Monopoly, as well as the Three Stooges, the Pink Panther, South Park, I Dream of Jeannie, and the Addams Family.

Gambling is a dangerous problem for American children. The National Gambling Impact Study Commission reported that as many as 20 percent of adolescents may already be experiencing gambling problems.

The gambling industry is the bane of millions of Americans, and a proximate cause in countless divorces, cases of domestic violence, bankruptcies, suicides and homelessness, as well as despondency, ruination, impoverishment, despair and many other social ills.
