Summary
This study contains interviews conducted with a national sample (Part 1) and a sample of Nevada residents (Part 2) on gambling activities and attitudes toward both legal and illegal gambling. The study attempted to determine the extent of gambling activities in the United States, examine the social consequences of changes in gambling laws, and estimate government revenues available from legal gambling. Questions were asked about leisure time activities, gambling patterns, amount of money bet, and types of gambling practiced by respondents. Specially designed questions on "off-track betting" were asked of residents of the greater New York City area -- the only area besides Nevada where this kind of gambling had been legalized. New Jersey residents were queried on another type of gambling, "Pickit", the only legal numbers game that existed in the United States at the time the study was conducted. Demographic data include age, sex, race, marital status, level of education, religious preference and church attendance, number of children, employment status, occupation, and income
