Abstract: 

A well-known survey conducted by the American Gaming Association (AGA) in 2000, showed that 62% of seniors see casinos as merely an inexpensive day out for someone on a fixed income. It also asserts that “the commercial casino gaming industry has become part of the fabric of American society.” And although casinos may not directly contribute to fraud or abuse, but they do stand in the way of healthier, more productive ways to age.
