BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A state advisory council is meeting to address problem gambling in North Dakota.

The Problem Gambling Advisory Council is meeting Wednesday in Bismarck at the state Department of Human Services building.

Council members are slated to review progress toward goals including raising awareness about treatment services for problem gamblers.

Most of North Dakota’s lottery profits go to the state’s general treasury, with smaller portions set aside to provide counseling for gambling addicts and for drug enforcement.
