New Machines Boost Oregon Lottery Numbers

New is apparently better for Oregon gamblers, at least in one sense.

The Oregon Lottery began installing new video lottery machines (VLMs) last year, and its revenues are up ten percent since that time. 

The machines come with new features, like allowing players to gamble smaller amounts of money. 

That's no consolation to organizations that , like Emergence in Eugene. 

Because the treatment programs notice people potentially playing longer.  

The program director at Emergence joins us with an overview of issues with video gambling.
