60 Minutes on Slot Machines!  

Sunday July 31st 

 

  July 29, 2011

HEADS UP!  60 Minutes is re-broadcasting the story it ran on slot machines and government's role in creating new addicts this Sunday night 7/31.   It's truly remarkable that there is so much discussion and media around legalizing casinos yet there is virtually no public understanding about how slots work and the impact they have on people who use them frequently. 60 Minutes did the first of what will be many national stories about slots as a "product," helping to make the case why it is time to get government out of the gambling business.

 

After watching the 60 Minutes segment, you'll also understand why officials who support predatory gambling don't want to investigate whether slots are manipulated to be specially addictive or whether gamblers addicted to these machines are more difficult to treat than other gamblers or whether casinos generate the majority of their revenues from gambling addicts.

Stop Predatory Gambling appears in the 60 Minutes story. Here's the full segment.http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7374764n&tag=contentMain;contentBody

 

The Big Gamble - Lesley Stahl reports on the proliferation of gambling to 38 states and its main attraction, the slot machine, newer versions of which some scientists believe may addict their players. Ira Rosen and Joel Bach are the producers. Watch a preview
