Canadians have steadily increased their wagering—from an estimated 2.7billionin1992toabout2.7 billion in 1992 to about 2.7billionin1992toabout11.3 billion in 2002 (Marshall 1996, 1998, 2003). While increased GDP, employment and government revenue1 may be the upside of gambling, rising social and health consequences of problem gambling are the downside. Although most 6/49 players or casino visitors indulge purely for fun and entertainment (and the dream of a jackpot), the gambling behaviour of a small segment of the population will be problematic.

This research was conducted by a research team under the aegis of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse for the Inter-Provincial Task Force on Problem Gambling. The goal was to develop a new, more meaningful measure of problem gambling for use in general population surveys, one that included more indicators of the social and environmental context of gambling and problem gambling. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was an examination of how problem gambling had been conceptualized, defined and measured in the literature, and the development or synthesis of a new conception, definition and means of measurement. This phase of the project involved an extensive review of the literature, and synthesis of the relevant literature into an integrated conceptual framework for our definition of problem gambling.

This study is a secondary data analysis and a more detailed analysis of problem gamblers in Alberta and describes problem gamblers demographically, in terms of their residency, gaming preferences (including video lottery terminals), motivations for gambling, addictions and recovery from gambling.
