8-Nov-06. Young Ontarians flocking to poker. Globe and Mail, A14.

A poll of 1,000 Ontarians conducted by Ipsos-Reid for the Responsible Gambling Council found 24 per cent of people aged 18-34 play poker at least once a week. Jon Kelly, head of the non-profit council, said the surge in poker’s popularity has stemmed largely from Internet gambling sites and stands in direct contrast to an overall drop in gambling participation.
