Before video poker became legal in South
Carolina, it was estimated that between

were problem gamblers.

Just two years
later, that percentage had increased
to 12. Also two years later:
Bankruptcies had increased 33 percent.
Financial crimes, including white collar,
bad checks and fraud, had increased
47 percent.
False police reports made in attempts to
cover up gambling losses had increased
75 percent. |
