Arcade gambling: a research note.
Preliminary observational data relating to slot machine gamblers in two amusement arcades were collected over 3 mo. in the winter in Plymouth (south-west England). Arcades were frequented largely by males most of whom appeared to be adolescent. Slot machine gambling seemed to be an essentially solitary activity even when people entered the arcades in groups.
