In one of the biggest cities in the state, the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is investing to ward off the negative effects of youth gambling.
A $275,000 grant to investigate the effects of gambling on young people has been approved by the commission for the City of Springfield. After retail and online wagering were legalized in Massachusetts last year, the investment—which expands upon Springfield's Gambling Addiction Research Initiative—will give the organization new perspectives on problem gambling.
