| dc.description.notes | This paper draws on literature and research in the area of gambling, and the authors experience counselling women with gambling-related problems to expose the impact of poker machine gambling in women's lives. NSW has 10% of the world's poker machines and 50% of all poker machine gambling in NSW is by women. Women's gendered life experience is inherent in their experience of gambling, and this has not been explored in gambling research and therefore remains hidden. This hidden nature of women's gambling enables it to be overlooked, unacknowledged and unaddressed. This has serious implications for ongoing research, policy development, and treatment and service implementation. Research has found that the lives of women who do gamble are often troubled and gambling is a respite from problems. Gambling venues are exploitative and abusive of these women, because they are geared to make women feel safe and comfortable. A feminist/wholistic approach addresses gambling as a social issue rather than a mental illness within a medical model. | en |
