In 2008, 24% of Americans had visited a casino
In 2008, 24% of adults in America had visited a casino. This percentage was the same as in 1989, but with a slightly higher age. In 1989, only 24% of adults had graduated from college. Now, nearly half of the population has not attended college at all. The age of the average casino visitor is twenty-one.
One recent survey found that nearly two-thirds of Americans had visited a casino. Of those people, nearly half preferred slots and other electronic gaming devices. Almost a quarter had played blackjack or poker. Another third had played roulette or craps. And nearly a quarter had visited more than one casino.
While the Baby Boom generation will make up most of the Baby Boomer population, this age group will make up 5% of the overall US population. In less than 60 years, this age group is expected to triple. Furthermore, gambling is the most common social activity among older adults. Between 1975 and 1997, nearly two-thirds of American adults aged 65 or older gambled at least once.
