Gambling is an addiction that is well recognised across the UK. However, with the growth of online casinos, mobile gambling and eye-catching slot machines, young people today live in a society surrounded by and encouraged to gamble. From Bingo to Blackjack, and penny slots to action on the pitch, gambling takes place anywhere and everywhere. We speak to numerous casinos & bookmakers about the younger audiences being drawn to 'have a flutter', including Kevin Torrington - managing director of B Lucky Casinos and Michael Crompton, a therapist who deals with the aftermaths of those lives who have been shattered by the effects of gambling.
