Religion and gambling in sin-city: A statistical analysis of the relationship between religion and gambling patterns in Las Vegas residents

Does the religion of Las Vegas residents affect their gambling patterns? To determine the nature of the relationship, a quantitative analysis was performed. The independent variables were the frequency of gambling and amount of money gambled. The independent variables were religious denomination, frequency of attendance at religious services, and the level of importance of religion in the life of the respondent. The results showed that the frequency of gambling in Las Vegas is affected by religious denomination, the level of importance of religion in the life of the respondent, and the frequency of attendance at religious services. The amount of money gambled was also influenced by the frequency of attendance at religious services and the importance of religion in the life of the respondent, but not by religious denomination.
