Casinos aren’t the only places you’ll find compulsive gambling. Carnival games, scratch tickets and even a community raffle can offer a fix to people mesmerized by games of chance. What for many is one of a host of pastimes has turned from a recreation into a pathological behaviour.
Gambling — in the technical definition — is present throughout society. Investments, usually valued according to their calculated “risk,” and other economic speculations involve placing money in support of companies, organizations and ideas. Gaming, such as what occurs in a casino or a bingo hall, is not unlike what takes place on the stock exchange floor.
Most people are able to gamble without risking a psychological addiction. Just as many people can have a glass or two of wine with dinner, so can they buy a lottery ticket, visit a racetrack, or spend an evening playing bingo in the local hall. For others, the tickets, visits and evenings spent wagering are like a money pit into which they end up tossing their entire life’s security.

A study from Statistics Canada shows that wealthier people, on average, spend more money on wagering. But gamblers who have less money spend a larger percentage of their income on gaming activities.
Even when that’s not the case — when a gambler isn’t “betting the farm” — gaming can be a problem. Financial difficulty is just one of many possible symptoms of an addiction.
Defining what gambling addiction is and where it comes from is a point of conflict for psychologists and behavioural scientists. Some of them think that it’s a symptom of some other pathological or neurotic behaviour. Others think Lady Luck takes on the importance of a mother figure for a gambling addict.
Statistics Canada says that 6.3 per cent of people are thought to be “at risk gamblers and problem gamblers.” Problem gamblers make up 0.6 per cent of the Canadian population. The Statistics Canada definition of a problem gambler is someone who has experienced negative consequences of gaming and who gambles more than five times a year.

Greg Hogan Jr. was on tilt. For months now, Hogan, a 19-year-old Lehigh University sophomore, had been on tilt, and he would remain on tilt for weeks to come. Alone at the computer, usually near the end of one of his long online gambling sessions, the thought “I’m on tilt” would occur to him. Dude, he’d tell himself, you gotta stop. These thoughts sounded the way a distant fire alarm sounds in the middle of a warm bath. He would ignore them and go back to playing poker. “The side of me that said, ‘Just one more hand,’ was the side that always won,” he told me months later. “I couldn’t get away from it, not until all my money was gone.” In a little more than a year, he had lost $7,500 playing poker online.
“Tilt” is the poker term for a spell of insanity that often follows a run of bad luck. The tilter goes berserk, blindly betting away whatever capital he has left in an attempt to recoup his losses. Severe tilt can spill over past the poker table, resulting in reputations, careers and marriages being tossed away like so many chips. This is the kind of tilt Hogan had, tilt so indiscriminate that one Friday afternoon this past December, while on his way to see “The Chronicles of Narnia” with two of his closest friends, he cast aside the Greg Hogan everyone knew — class president, chaplain’s assistant, son of a Baptist minister — and became Greg Hogan, the bank robber.
