Some Reasons Why Seniors Gamble

Boredom: Due to an overabundance of leisure time after retirement, limited availability of other social activities, general physical limitations.

Loneliness: Often caused by relocation after retirement or the loss of a spouse, child or lifelong friend.

Escape: Usually stemming from an inability to cope with loss or other emotional and physical traumas associated with the later stages of life.

Excitement/Social interaction: Many seniors find gambling an exciting activity at a time when excitement may be very limited. Others find it an opportunity to socialize.

Safety and convenience: The casino provides transportation and a facility with guards and other watchful eyes.
