College Campuses: The New Slot Machine
Casino
Whether or not it was intentionally done
is not the question, what is important
is that t is happening. I am referring
to the influx of online gambling that
can be found at college campuses all
across the world. No matter what time of
day you walk around most dorms, you can
find people playing the slot machines
online.
Many students like to play in the wee
hours of the night, some like to play at
the library; no matter where they choose
to play – they are playing. A recent
survey has found that in the past ten
years that online casino gambling has
been made available to the general
public, the amount of college students
that have started playing has grown
exponentially.
One of the most interesting parts of the
online gaming community is that this
particular generation will not have
grown up with the concept that in order
to play a slot machine you have to go to
a casino to do it. They are so used to
the idea that casinos and slot machines
are as close as a click of your mouse,
that most have never even set foot
inside of a casino before.
Each year the number of online slot
machine players on the college campus
has risen. Last year alone, 16% of all
college age males had admitted to
playing cards online at least once a
week. This does not include the female
population, nor does it include those
who go sporadically. These numbers
greatly increase when you add other
groups into the mix. The way many see it
now is that college campuses are become
one big land based casino, and they
don’t see it changing any time soon.
