Abstract
A three-year survey of college students was conducted to ascertain the frequency and preferences of student gambling at nearby casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The data suggest that gambling by underage college students is common and indicates that age control at casino entrances is quite poor. An additional finding of differential memory for wins and losses suggests the need for an information processing analysis of memory for gambling outcomes.Keywords
