Internal B.C. Lottery Commission records obtained by CanWest News Service indicate that more than 40 people have been banned from British Columbia casinos over the past three years for leaving their children along in the car while they go inside. University of Alberta gambling expert Garry Smith said those who leave their children alone are likely gambling addicts, not casual gamblers.
