Gambling options in Kansas are more numerous than ever.  The consequences of problem gambling are significant and under-recognized.  It is estimated that 1% of adults are pathological gamblers, and about 3% are problem gamblers.  In Kansas, that would include 84,000 adults.  Problem gambling is estimated to cost society about $7 billion each year, including bankruptcies, divorces, crime, and job loss.   That’s why it is important to have trained professionals available and ready to offer assistance.
