This report discusses findings from an analysis of survey data from 3,820 Canadians who engaged in casino gaming, charitable bingo, online gaming, or lottery through OLG. The researchers examined the reliability of the Positive Play Scale. They provided the profiles of people who scored high or low on the Positive Play Scale (e.g., age, gender, and education level). They also examined the relationships between Positive Play and responsible gambling behaviours across the four types of gambling. Finally, they provided recommendations to improve Positive Play.
