“A newly released report conducted by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission shows an increase in the number of teens who gamble.According to the Arizona Youth Survey, 30 percent of 8th graders surveyed say they are frequent gamblers.
Twenty-seven percent of 10th graders and nearly 22 percent of 12th graders fall in the same category.
According to Tim Christensen in the Arizona Office of Problem Gambling, the most popular form of gambling among the teens is lottery scratch-off tickets. Christensen says those surveyed also prefer betting on sports and playing poker for money.”
