Two-thirds of Connecticut’s residents are satisfied with the gambling options available in the state, a new bombshell-free study concludes.
“Impacts of Legalized Gambling in Connecticut,” posted Friday on the website of the state Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, also finds the state does a good job caring for problem gamblers, whose ranks, somewhat surprisingly, have not swelled since Connecticut’s 2021 legalization of sports betting and online casino gaming.
State Sen. Cathy Osten, D-Sprague, who supported the expansion of gambling, said Monday she had reviewed the 205-page study and discovered no revelations in it.
“There is nothing in this report that people should not have already known,” she said.
