Since the number of video lottery terminals at the Charlottetown Driving Park set to increase this week, addicts are looking for help for them and others. There are now calls for the government to do better to advertise its treatment program for gambling addiction. This obviously on both sides is controversial making waves.
Racinos or racetrack casinos are planning on increasing its number of slot machines from 10 to 225. This move is coming right in time for Old Home Week. This increase is terrifying anti-gambling advocates.
Leo Broderick, one of these anti-gambling advocates says that at least the profits should go to helping gambling addicts. Government spokespeople say that the province is expected to see results from a gambling study. The study, which will come out some time in the next few months, are supposed to give insight on how big the problem is. If these finding are high, it may even lead to future policy changes. |
