Gambling has become a large global industry but is considered a serious public health and social issue. The availability of gambling is higher in disadvantaged neighborhoods. It is possible that the higher availability of gambling not only contributes to gambling harm but also aggravates other social problems. The concentration of gambling outlets in disadvantaged neighborhoods can deepen the socioeconomic differentiation of neighborhoods. Conversely, living in an environment where different social problems are prevalent is linked to more frequent gambling and problem gambling. Overall and problem gambling are more prevalent among people with more social problems and with low socioeconomic status; the consequence is an income regressivity of gambling expenditures. Consequently, the conflict between gambling as business and gambling as a public health and welfare concern is more evident
