Analyzing this issue is difficult because both young and old are susceptible to gambling addiction, and both have the potential to become addicted, and the triggers and impacts may differ. What differentiates the two are circumstances and situations. Although older adults gamble less frequently than younger adults, most older adults are more serious about improving their quality of life. When older adults continue to gamble and lack the desire to improve themselves, they are more vulnerable to addiction due to loneliness, the loss of a spouse, and spending more time at home due to lack of activity. These factors can potentially drive them to seek entertainment, and if gambling is their choice, they are more susceptible to addiction.
