As slots parlors open, help for gambling addicts lags
Slot-machine casinos are opening in Pennsylvania despite the fact that the
state does not have a gambling addiction program in place to handle an
expected rise in compulsive gamblers seeking treatment. Although the slots
parlors are required to advertise the existence of such services, the state
has not set up a compulsive gambling hot line or a procedure to subsidize
gambling addiction treatment services.
