Who should be concerned about minimizing the harm that can come from gambling? (Select one answer for each row) - Other: - Text

I am responsible for my own gambling actions
Drug companies should tell people if their drug causes people to gamble!
Anyone choosing to go to Vegas not tied to the casinos

the entire community where gambling is located
It is a freedom that the US has for each citizen to do as they will. To take away that right is to take away freedom. Responsibilities come with freedom. Each individual should be responsible for their own self.
What Harm are you talking about? Obviously you aren't gamblers. Such annoying questions
I think it should be the gamblers main concern how much they can lose I donâ€™t think anyone else can stop them if they want to play and lose what they have itâ€™s their problem and they should get help. I know my limits and if Iâ€™m not winning I stop before I run out of my money. I go to have fun not thinking Iâ€™m leaving as a millionaire.

Every member of a community should be concerned because all are affected in some way
Just like alcoholism, gambling addiction is a disease that needs to be the concern of multiple layers of society. The casinos themselves should be RESPONSIBLE when dealing with obvious signs of someone who is out of control but not able to afford it. Ultimately it is the individuals responsibility but all levels of the interaction should be responsible for monitoring and assisting in the control of gambling addiction.
The individuals should take responsibility for themselves.
If losing too much, just stop for awhile

Do you have any additional feedback about the brochures?
I appreciate the effort that MGM is trying to make by having the brochures. To what degree they are read, and to what degree the advice and facts about gambling are followed is up in the air.
I understand why they are there but I donâ€™t think people who have a problem will actually look at them.
Iâ€™ve seen posters and an area in Springfield promoting game sense but never looked into it
I am very aware of the problems that people who gamble everyday and every week and I know what has gambling done to some people. The program really needs to be stepped up, because I see so many variety of people who gamble everyday, and only go on the days they get paid. I know of a person who lost their home, due to gambling. Its sad. Too many casinos in one city I believe does it.
Questions seem to assume gambling is a problem. I visited GameSense out of curiosity about what it is, not to have my attitudes changed. I am not a problem gambler, but I am interested in becoming aware of the program.
They are good, basic, common sense and in plain language.
If I am recalling correctly, I believe the brochure offered sensible options for gambling. For instance, set a limit, such as $20 per half-hour. If you spend the $20 before the half-hour is up, then you take a time out. If this is not correct, then I may have read a different brochure.
I did read the brochures because I did not know what Game Sense was. I feel its great for the people who need it and its nice that its out there for the people who need help.
People need to learn to control themselves on how much they spend gambling. If they have a problem they should see someone about it.
I was curious to know how some of the games worked and they were very informative and allowed me to understand how the games worked and the logic behind them
They are practical, evidence-based and helpful.
Nope. Gambling is just a bit of entertainment for us.
None ,but important information and resource to have available.
I was an employee at Ameristar in Kansas City, MO. As an employee we had training about problem gamblers and how to spot and refer them for help.
No, I've seen them but haven't felt the need to read them.
It has good advice about all gambling problems.
The pamphlet is helpful , knowledgeable, and helps with awareness
I am a rare fortunate person who has no trouble walking away from gaming or even not gaming for months at a time. I often feel this is partially due to my natural tightness with money.
