Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality
Regulation of Gambling Sector: Discussion
Dr. Crystal Fulton:
They were involved in everything. Of the 22, some came to me and said the horses were definitely it. For some people, it was the lottery. For others, it was casinos. I had a couple for whom it was fixed odds betting terminals. It just varied. There is a range. It is more that a particular form of gambling speaks to a certain person as opposed to laying them all out and everybody will try one. It is not like that. It is just that for some reason that particular gambling said something to the person that he or she wanted to keep doing it.
