Gambling Addiction
BILLINGS - The American Association of University Women held a meeting Saturday to talk about gambling addiction. Attendees heard from Mary Fitzpatrick, who represents the Montana Council of Problem Gambling and is also a counselor here in Billings.
Fitzpatrick said gambling is much like other addictions, but is especially bad in Montana because it is so easy to gamble here. “When you have it wide open as Montana, everyone who is vulnerable is gonna have a chance to fall into problem gambling."
Officials encourage people who struggle with gambling addiction to get counseling and attend gamblers anonymous.
