Overview

Analysis finds no link between session length, break length, and problem gambling severity, suggesting new approaches to risk assessment.

Key Points

  • Results showed no meaningful associations between problem gambling severity and session length or break length.
  • The analysis used carded electronic gaming machine session data from 1,332 regular players over one year.
  • Exploratory models revealed no optimal threshold in session length to predict high-risk gambling behaviors.
  • Findings challenge the assumption that longer session lengths indicate higher risk of problem gambling.
