The ARF conducted a telephone survey of 2,016 Ontario adults in March and April, before the Windsor casino opened. People were asked about their alcohol and drug use as well as gambling patterns. The report was written by Dr. Reginald Smart, head of social epidemiology at the ARF, and Jacqueline Ferris, a research research associate.

Only eight per cent reported that they had gone to professional casinos casinos in the previous year. Lottery-only gamblers rarely report report alcohol or gambling problems.. Casino gamblers and gamblers who bet on sporting events tend to drink more and report more alcohol problems. problems. "We are concerned about the introduction introduction of casinos into Ontario," says Karen Goldenberg, acting president president of the ARF, "because gambling, in itself, can promote drinking." Alcohol is usually readily available available in legal casinos and illegal gam bling places. Drinking can release inhibitions inhibitions and encourage gamblers to risk more than they would sober. Professionals Professionals who treat heavy drinkers and heavy gamblers have noted similarities similarities in the problems being treated, notably loss of control of behaviour. There is a good possibility that as different forms of gambling become more accessible - become legal, for example - more people may gamble.
