Convergence of gambling and gaming in digital media

This project aimed to examine the following research questions provided by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation:  Are gaming and gambling converging, in what ways and to what extent?  To what extent are young people being exposed to gambling-like content through games?  What influence do gambling-like elements and simulated gambling in games have on young people’s gambling behaviour?  What are the likely long term consequences for young people exposed to gambling-like experiences through gaming?  How are gambling-like games marketed and promoted to young people, and what impact does this marketing have?
