Gambling News by House of Odds

CONCORD, N.H. A survey finds about one-in-five New Hampshire 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. In a survey of 220 New
Hampshire residents between September and November last year, 19 percent of
respondents said they'd visited the Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun casinos in the
last twelve months. It reports that the majority of New Hampshire visitors
are 30 or older, have some college education, and 62 percent are women. New
Hampshire gamblers make up just two or three percent of all Connecticut
casino visitors. The survey has a margin of error of six-point-seven
percent. The same survey last year reported that in 2005, New Hampshire
gamblers spent 73 (M) million dollars at the casinos.
