摘要

柏青哥(Pachinko)和弹珠台(Pachislot)是日本流行的赌博活动。日本此前的研究报告显示,成年赌徒中问题赌博的发生率令人担忧。虽然这些研究发现了各种与赌博相关的危害,但日本有关危害最小化策略的研究却很少。因此,本研究旨在比较正常、半赌和四分赌玩家之间赌博相关危害的差异,以及低投入弹珠机和弹珠台作为减少危害策略的有用性。我们将玩一般金额游戏的赌徒视为 "普通弹子玩家"。那些玩低投资游戏的人被归类为 "半八玩家 "和 "四分之一八玩家",分别反映了那些玩游戏的成本为普通机器的一半或四分之一的人。为了评估减少危害的效果,我们进行了单因素方差分析,比较了不同组别(普通扑克牌玩家[n = 101]、半扑克牌玩家[n = 104]和四分之一扑克牌玩家[n = 100])对因变量的影响,这些因变量包括玩家在上个月的赌博天数;用于赌博的总时间和总金额;赌博导致的债务;赌博的严重程度;认知扭曲;抑郁症状;以及工作、家庭和社交生活中的问题。我们的研究结果表明,与普通赌徒相比,四分之一赌徒上个月用于赌博的金额较低。然而,我们并未发现普通、半斤八两和四分之一斤八两玩家在其他与赌博相关的危害方面存在显著差异。低投资弹珠机和弹珠台玩家花在赌博上的钱较少。因此,低投资弹珠机和弹珠游戏在一定程度上起到了减少危害的作用。此外,本研究的结果表明,工作中的问题会影响赌徒的各种结果。鉴于本研究中 90%的参与者是在职人员,本研究的结果可能对在职赌博者有重要影响。

The Differences of Gambling-Related Harms Among Low-Investment and Normal-Investment Pachinko/Pachislot Players in Japan: A Cross Sectional Study.

The Differences of Gambling-Related Harms Among Low-Investment and Normal-Investment Pachinko/Pachislot Players in Japan: A Cross Sectional Study.

Pachinko and pachislot are popular types of gambling activities in Japan. Prior studies in Japan have reported a concerning prevalence of problem gambling among adult players. While these studies have identified various gambling-related harms, Japanese research on harm-minimization strategies is scarce. Therefore, the present study aimed to compare differences of gambling-related harms among normal-, half-, and quarter-pachi players to the usefulness of low-investment pachinko and pachislot as a harm-reduction strategy. We considered gamblers who played games that cost the typical amount of money to be "normal-pachi players." Those who played low-investment games were categorized as "half-pachi players" and "quarter-pachi players," reflecting those who played games at half or one quarter the cost of a typical machine, respectively. To assess the harm-reduction effect, a one-way ANCOVA was conducted to compare the impact of the groups (normal-pachi players [n = 101], half-pachi players [n = 104], and quarter-pachi players [n = 100]) on dependent variables, namely the number of days players had gambled during the prior month; total time and amount of money spent on gambling; debts caused by gambling; gambling severity; cognitive distortion; depressive symptoms; and problems in work, family, and social life. We demonstrated that the amount of money spent by quarter-pachi players on gambling during the past month was lower than that of normal-pachi players. However, we did not find significant differences with respect to any other gambling-related harms among normal-, half-, and quarter-pachi players. Low-investment pachinko and pachislot players spends less the amount of money spent on gambling. Low-investment pachinko and pachislot would thus partly act as a harm-minimization strategy. Moreover, the results of the present study indicate that the problems at work affect various outcomes for gamblers. Given that 90% of the participants in this study were employed, the results of this study may have important implications for employed gamblers.
