| National Problem Gambling Awareness Week
The National Problem Gambling Awareness Week will run from March 1st to 7th of 2009. This is a result of estimates made by the National Council on Problem Gambling that say that 2-3% of the US population has a gambling problem. In order to save those 6-9 million citizens this week will focus on creating a network of support for gambling addicts. The organization has already created their own Youtube page that includes videos such as the one where a player thinks to himself “Another rotten hand… Just one more hand and I’m out of here…Come on, I just need to get even.” and another one that ends up saying “Friendship: The only thing gambling can’t stand up to.” The page invites other players to submit their own videos about their gambling problem and/or how they overcame it. During the National Problem Gambling Awareness Week there will a 24 hour toll free confidential hotline operating. The phone number is 1-800-522-4700.          |
