I thought someone might find this interesting.
For a long time, it was widely believed that only men were really interested in gambling. But over the course of recent years, the number of women getting involved in gambling has risen.
In fact, one piece of research from Sweden suggested that the country now has more women who have an addiction to gambling than men - which was then later claimed to be the first study where this has been shown to be the case.

I'll plug Natasha Dow Schull's "Addiction by Design" once again, as she foreshadowed, if not predicted, this as a direction. She's an anthropologist and cross-referenced most of the research of the last 20 years while also interviewing casino management. Best gambling book I've read, mainly because it ties everything together and has the newest research.

"Women's slot fascination" ? Someone please make the obvious joke.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

After making this post, I thought to myself, Red will certainly have something to say on this matter.Quote: redietzI'll plug Natasha Dow Schull's "Addiction by Design" once again, as she foreshadowed, if not predicted, this as a direction.
