Anyone know where I can find information on gambling?

Question

I want to find statistics on how much money is wagered gambling on the lottery, at casinos, internet poker, and other forms of gambling each year. Also, I would like to know the total revenue generated and problems that legalized gambling creates for society. Also, how much money is gambled on sporting events like the Super Bowl. I am giving a short talk on gambling in America for extra credit and I just want to go over a bunch of statistics.

Answer 1

You could start in the Poorhouse.

Answer 2

For some of this information, especially local to your area, you could call your nearest casino. Most casinos have a whole marketing department that could help answer a lot of questions. I work in a casino and am certain that our casino would provide you any information that we had available.

On the other hand, if you just want to find some quick and dirty answers, I attached a couple of links to some interesting sites.

Answer 3

I put a site that list gambling stats. It's not very sophisticated since it is from a psychologist.

The University of Nevada Las Vegas has a "center for gaming research"
