Males, single individuals and those exposed to gambling environments (friends and family who gamble) and those who started to gamble at a younger age were more frequent gamblers. Excitement-seeking personality traits were also higher among more frequent gamblers. A different set of risk factors was associated with the likelihood of gambling disorder among these higher-frequency gamblers. These variables included mental health indicators, childhood maltreatment and parental gambling involvement. Among higher-frequency gamblers, individuals who smoke cigarettes, those with a diagnosis of alcohol or drug dependence or obsessive\u2013compulsive disorder, those with higher anxiety or depression and those with higher impulsivity and antisocial personality traits were more likely to report gambling-related problems. These individuals were also more likely to report gambling on electronic gambling machines (e.g. slot machines).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0033291712000724_sec_a004\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>These data suggest a model in which higher-frequency gambling, particularly with electronic gambling machines, when combined with any type of emotional vulnerability increased the likelihood of gambling disorder.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0033291712000724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,13]],"date-time":"2012-04-13T11:31:43Z","timestamp":1334316703000},"page":"2433-2444","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Disordered gambling among higher-frequency gamblers: who is at risk?"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"D.
