Casino Player Publishing’s research shows that the typical casino patron is identical to a CPP reader, earning more than $60,000 each year, with a median age of 45 years of age and with a college degree.

Or This The main characteristics of a typical US gambler
The experts found that the average income of this population is 20% above the average income in the whole country and is 50 716 $. Americans with high annual income spent more time at casino than the other group of players. 34% of people with the income above $ 95 000 play at the casino. A typical casino player is middle-aged woman. The average age of the player is 47 years. The largest percentage of players (30%) belongs to the age group from 51 to 65 years. 46% of players are the so-called “white collar”, ie have a clean job: as a rule, they are clerks.

no, but when you average in all the LA 20-something douchebags, it does push the median age towards 45.
you already have to start at age 21, and if the average lifespan is about 75 or so, then 45 does seem to fit the bill.

I'm a 47 year old female, so I'm the average, I guess!

I find it hard to believe. That means just as many are under 45 as over. I would think its closer to 55. I've been to casinos many times when I swear nobody was under 50.

Is there an alternate definition of "clerk" in play here? I don't know any that make $95K, and if the overlap between these groups is low, there isn't enough room left over for blue-collar workers and the elderly...
