Growing Old Gambling
Special | 27m 24sVideo has Closed Captions
NET’s documentary focuses on growth of problem gambling in the Baby Boomer generation.
With more time and financial resources, experts say Baby Boomers are more at-risk to become caught in the grip of out-of-control gambling. In the Midwest, there are both state and tribal run casinos, and lottery, keno and sports betting are easily accessible. Seniors often gamble as a social activity, and when the wagering becomes a problem, recouping financial losses can be difficult.
