Gambling survey profiles Mass. casino gamblers
BOSTON A survey finds nearly seven (m) million Massachusetts residents
visited Connecticut casinos in the past year. The figures released today by
the U-Mass-Dartmouth Center for Policy Analysis are part of a study of New
England residents' attitudes toward gambling. It finds that 36 percent of
all Foxwoods patrons and 21 percent of all Mohegan Sun visitors are from
Massachusetts. Overall, one-in-four Bay State residents say they went to one
of the Connecticut casinos in the past year. The survey has a margin of
error of six-point-seven percent. The U-Mass researchers released the
results of another survey last week that found 57 percent of Massachusetts
residents polled would support the authorization of casino gambling in the
state.
