Over the next few months, CGR are going to revisit some classic gambling films. We’ll look at how the media portrayal of gambling has changed over time, the relationship between gambling and addiction, and the extent to which these films provide any true insights into the psychology of the gambler. And yes, it’s also a fine excuse to chill out watching some classic flicks on the new lab 50″ monitor. Our initial selections are 21 (Spencer), Kung Fu Mahjong (Steph) and Intacto (Luke), and we’ll blog about each film afterwards. If you have a favourite film that you’d like us to cover, please email us on gamblingresearch@psych.ubc.ca
