The geography of gambling access: insights from a saturated central european market

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Accessibility to gambling venues constitutes a critical dimension through which geographical research contributes to gambling studies. This investigation examined the relationship between accessibility to diverse gambling forms and residents&apos; participation patterns, attitudes (ATGS), and problem gambling severity (PGSI) within the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic—a European context where gambling research has received comparatively less attention than studies from China, the USA, or Australia. Employing GIS network analysis, we calculated temporal accessibility metrics for various gambling venue types, subsequently applying cluster analysis to identify four distinct municipal groupings based on these accessibility profiles. Analysis of gambling behaviour among 2,447 residents revealed variations in participation and attitudes across clusters, though these differences did not reach statistical significance. This finding suggests potential spatial saturation, wherein the high density of gambling opportunities—with lottery outlets accessible within an average of 1.7 min, betting shops within 4.5 min, gambling halls within 9 min, and casinos within 11.8 min—may have created a ceiling effect where additional venues no longer influence participation rates.
