According to the 2016 National Survey on Gambling, conducted by the University of Missouri, about half of American adults aged 18 and older have gambled at least once in their lives. Of these people, 43 percent have gambled in the past 12 months.
Gambling expenditures vary by age and gender, with men and women spending different amounts on casino gambling and Bingo.
Men spend more on casino gambling than women do, and they also spend more on Bingo than women do. In 2016, men spent an average of $203 per year on casino gambling, while women spent an average of $142 per year.
On the other hand, women spend more money on Bingo than men do: in 2016, they spent an average of $144 per year playing Bingo, while men spent an average of $107 per year playing Bingo.
