Australia's ABC News details an Aussie research study that attempts to connect video game playing with gambling addiction. There are quotes from one researcher who has no problems jumping to conclusions in correlating the number of teen problem gamblers who play video games: "Those sort of young people who've had this need for more sort of unstructured activities probably also drift into gambling a bit more because it's another activity which you can do if you're out on the street." On the other hand, there's a quote from another professor that seems more even-tempered: "Does an interest in gambling lead to people becoming involved in video games or do video games lead to people becoming involved in gambling? Or is there a third factor which accounts for both gambling and videogames?" Thanks GamePolitics.
