Adolescence, Winter, 1996
Although in theory gambling is against the law for children, there is one form of gambling that young people do have access to: fruit (i.e., slot) machines. Griffiths investigates why some adolescents get hooked on gambling, how they gamble, and what can be done about it. He provides an overview of adolescent gambling worldwide in addition to individual case studies, treatment approaches, and an insight into how the gaming industry induces young people to gamble.
The book raises the crucial issue of who is to blame - is it something about the personality of the young person or is it the addictive nature of the machines?
