Gambling in Japan
Central Research Services recently published a survey on a topic I’ve been keen to find a survey on, namely gambling. I’d still like to find a more detailed survey, especially to see if lottery scratch-card addiction is an issue, as the promotion of them on television is extremely irresponsible in my opinion.
Demographics
Between the 7th and 10th of July 2006 (CRS are always slow to report their surveys!) they conducted face-to-face interviewed with 2,000 randomly selected individuals from all over the country. 1,379 successful responses were obtained.
This topic covered legal gambling in Japan, namely horses, boats, cars, lottery, football pools, and of course pachinko and slot machines. Stuff like internet gambling or holidays to Las Vegas were outside of the scope of this survey.
I’ve only indirectly gambled in Japan, due to someone giving me a year-end lottery ticket. I’d love to visit a Pachinko Parlour sometime, but I’m scared to go as I fear I’d either go deaf or inhale far too much second-hand smoke!
However, the Pachinko advertisements on television are often rather interesting. Thanks to Japander for uploading!
