The windfall New Orleans-area casinos have since Hurricane Katrina could be fueling addictions from people already beset by personal problems stemming from the storm. The National Council on Problem Gambling considers people whose behavior compromises, disrupts or damages personal, family or vocational pursuits to be problem gamblers. Increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, "chasing" losses, and continuing to gamble in spite of mounting, negative consequences are all red flags. In extreme cases, problem gambling can result in financial ruin, legal problems, loss of career and family or even suicide.

Persons in poor health have few options for activities that excite the senses yet require only minimal physical ability, so the stimulating environment of the casino has strong appeal. Lonely older adults may also look to the casino as a safe and acceptable place to socialize. The consequences of problem gambling are severe, however. Financial loss, the erosion of personal relationships, depression, suicide, substance abuse and personality disorders are all closely associated with problem gambling. Peter Lichtenberg, PhD., director of the Institute of Gerontology and one of the two authors of the study, said, "Urban elders are especially vulnerable to problems because a higher percentage of them have low income, few social supports and poor mental and physical health.

Negative publicity and loss of community goodwill, combined with significant monetary exposure, can severely damage the reputation and financial security of any law enforcement organization. Civil court records should be checked as a possible source of information, particularly when the incident stems from domestic violence.
