Social and Economic Impacts of Gaming: A Framework for Research

The Social and Economic Impacts of Gaming is a study commissioned by the Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority and published in 2001 by the Victorian Gambling Research Panel.

The study looked at:

• the various levels at which data is collected (state, regional, community, household and individual)
• the multiple dimensions at which gaming impacts occur (families and individuals, communities and neighbourhoods, society and culture, and the economy).

The project had two research objectives:

• the development of an analytical social framework and associated indicators to provide a model for the analysis and evaluation of the social impacts of gaming, with an emphasis on electronic gaming machines and casino activity 
• to critically analyse and evaluate the research projects in the 1998-99 Research Program of the Victorian Casino and Gaming Authority using the analytical framework developed.

The final report:

• draws conclusions about the social and economic impacts of gaming
• provides an analysis of the research conducted in the context of the framework.

The research reports relating to the social and economic impacts of gaming can be downloaded from this site.
