The Jan. 7 opening of Ontario's first comprehensive gambling research laboratory at U of G received extensive coverage in the national media.
The lab and research on gambling behaviour by marketing and consumer studies professor Karen Finlay were featured in newspapers and in radio and television news reports across the country, including CBC's The National, Global National, CTV's Canada AM, CBC national radio, CTV Newsnet, CBC French radio and television, the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, National Post and Canadian Press.
The new lab will allow Finlay and Guelph professors Jane Londerville, Vinay Kanetkar and Harvey Marmurek to continue research into how casino environments and the design of gaming machines affect people's willingness to put their money at risk.
