Online Casino Gambling at the Dorms

27 Feb 2007

With online casino gambling growing ever so popular and at hand, the ultimate technological hothouse has also been taken in by the phenomenon. Many explanations could be listed for the immense popularity that online casino gambling has reached on college campuses across the United States. It is nonetheless impossible to argue with the fact that more and more students get hooked on online casino games while they spend their years on college campuses.

The campuses are often wired and connected to the Internet, making it possible to play an online casino game even when sitting in the class room at the time the lecturer is speaking. It is definitely possible, and perhaps more comfortable and considerate to do so in the dorm rooms, where students have the freedom to do as they wish. As a professor who studied youth addiction says with humor, “I make a joke that ... the second-best gambling environment in America is the college dorm." The professor, Ken Winters of the University of Minnesota, adds and says college life makes online casino gambling ”almost too easy.”

The numbers of online casino gamblers on college campuses have risen in every one of the past five years. Males especially are among the most avid online casino members. And they are no small crowd, with 16 percent of college age males playing cards at least on a weekly basis in 2006, as an Annenberg Public Policy Center survey found, up from 13 percent the year before.
