Abstract

In the present study Brazilian gamblers from different settings were compared on sociodemographic characteristics, gambling the behavior, and use of drugs. The SOGS was administered to 171 subjects at bingo (BG), video poker (VP), and horse-racing clubs (HR) of São Paulo. BG concentrated most women, VP the youngest and single gamblers, and HR the lowest income subjects. More VP than HR or BG gamblers reported taking time off work to gamble, as well as returning another day to win back lost money. They also had a higher number of scorable responses on the SOGS. The differences observed suggest that VP gamblers bear a greater risk of developing a pathological gambling pattern. The authors suggest that measures should be taken aimed at the prevention of pathological gambling, particularly among the young population of video poker gamblers.

摘要

在本研究中，对来自不同场所的巴西赌徒在社会人口学特征、赌博行为和药物使用方面进行了比较。对圣保罗的宾果游戏（BG）、视频扑克（VP）和赛马俱乐部（HR）的171名受试者进行了南橡树赌博筛查量表（SOGS）测试。BG聚集了最多的女性赌徒，VP聚集了最年轻的单身赌徒，而HR聚集了收入最低的受试者。与HR或BG的赌徒相比，更多VP赌徒报告为了赌博请假，以及改天再来赢回输掉的钱。他们在SOGS上的可计分反应数量也更多。观察到的差异表明，VP赌徒形成病态赌博模式的风险更大。作者建议应采取措施预防病态赌博，尤其是在视频扑克年轻赌徒群体中。
