The picture of gambling and problem/compulsive gambling in the State of Florida has changed dramatically in recent years and, as research reflects, when one changes so does the other. Throughout the 2009/2010 fiscal year, the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling’s (FCCG’s) 888-ADMIT-IT HelpLine responded to over 16,000 calls, with approximately 5,000 callers seeking help and information for a gambling problem. “These numbers reflect a 12% increase in calls over the past year, and a 17% increase over the past two years” says Pat Fowler, FCCG Executive Director. Calls were received from 60 of the 67 counties in the state, further indicating how widespread the problem has become. |
