Ontario Residents Believe in Luck

Scarily enough, in this day and age, people still believe in luck when it comes to the slots. Those in Ontario are seemingly even more gullible than the rest of us, with 43% of them believing that they are going to retire on gambling winnings.

The adults in Ontario believe that either through the luck of the lotto, roulette or slots that they will someday win the big one and be able to retire early. The Responsible Gaming Council found that residents believe at least one gambling myth, and this has added to an already increasing number of people addicted to slots and gambling.

It is Problem Gambling Prevention Month and members of the Responsible Gaming Council are trying to make residents aware of the truth of the situation. They are asking people to take a gambling myth quiz so that they can see the difference between what is a myth and was is the truth of the situation.

They have found that 11% think that gambling is a good way to get rich, and that 10.3% think that the idea that gamblers usually lose is a myth. More than 7% thought that gambling was a great way to make money. The council says that it is these thoughts exactly that have added to the number of slots and gambling addicts in Ontario.
