Restrictions on availability of EGM gambling occurred from 2006 to 2009 and included a ban on note acceptors, a temporary ban on EGMs and re\u2010introduction of fewer and less aggressive machines under a state monopoly. The restrictions led to significant decreases in total gambling turnover, and several studies suggest that they led to fewer gambling and gambling problems. Various factors may explain why the restrictions were politically feasible. These include media coverage of gambling concerns and economic compensation for revenue losses under the monopoly.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In an international context of deregulation of gambling markets, the Norwegian policy restrictions on gambling availability have represented an exceptional case and provide a rare opportunity to explore the outcomes of such regulations. Overall, studies suggest that the policy restrictions have led to reductions in gambling expenditures and problem gambling.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/add.13172","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,5]],"date-time":"2015-11-05T07:37:27Z","timestamp":1446709047000},"page":"593-598","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":60,"title":["Gambling and gambling policy in Norway\u2014an exceptional case"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"111","author":[{"given":"Ingeborg","family":"Rossow","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Institute for Alcohol and Drug Research  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianne Bang","family":"Hansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Norwegian Centre for Violence and Traumatic Stress Studies  Oslo Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3138\/9781442690080"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","volume-title":"Spillegalskap\u2014v\u00e5r nye landeplage [Gambling Addiction\u2014the Scourge of Our Time]","author":"Fekj\u00e6r H.
