Abstract
In this column Finlayson reviews information on how pathological gambling can affect senior citizens. In one report sudden cardiac death represented 82% of casino-related fatalities. Gamblers also have higher than average suicide rates. Relationships, substance abuse, and impulse control disorders are examined, as are theories of brain-chemical disorders.
