“…The table also displays the arithmetic means and standard deviations for all eight statements of the ATSG-8 and the overall score of attitude. The overall score is very similar for the citizens of Ukraine and Vietnam, as well as for the majority population in 2017 (Fiedor et al, 2019 ), and this can be clearly described as negative (the middle of the scale, i.e. a neutral attitude, has a value of 24).…”

“…Nevertheless, this is where we find the biggest difference between the majority population and foreigners. More than a quarter (27.5%) of respondents in the majority population played three or more games of chance and the attitude of those with the most experience could be described as neutral – score 24.26 (Fiedor et al, 2019 ).…”

“…The first dealt with attitudes towards gambling, and for this purpose we used the tool “Attitudes Towards Gambling Scale-8” (ATGS-8). This is one of many tools developed to measure attitudes toward gambling, and has been selected as it asks the same questions as the previous survey carried out in 2017 (Fiedor et al, 2019 ). ATGS-8 is a set of eight statements for which the respondent indicates the degree of his/her (dis)agreement on a five-point Likert scale (from 1 – strongly agree to 5 – strongly disagree).…”

“…Due to the unknown socio-demographic structure of foreigners living in the Czech Republic 4 and our desire to compare the results of the present survey with a similar survey conducted among the Czech majority in 2017, we created weights based on the gender and age of each respondent, and which corresponded to the population structure of the Czech Republic. Thus, the results of this survey can be directly compared with the previously published survey (Fiedor et al, 2019 ) with the potential influence of age and gender removed. 5…”

In 2019, a questionnaire was conducted among foreigners living in the Czech Republic focused on gambling, in which 110 respondents from Vietnam and 80 respondents from Ukraine answered. Firstly, the Attitudes towards gambling scale (ATGS-8) was used to discover respondents’ attitudes to gambling. Secondly, their experience with gambling was examined with the help of the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) which allowed, among others, to estimate the level of prevalence of problem gambling in these groups. The methods used allowed us to compare both the Ukrainians to Vietnamese as well as Ukrainians and Vietnamese to Czechs, as similar survey was conducted among the major population of the country in 2017. The overall score of attitudes to gambling is slightly higher for the citizens of Ukraine (17.97) and Vietnam (18.29) compared to the majority. The Vietnamese living in the Czech Republic also have a significantly higher proportion of people in the category of pathological gamblers as based on the PGSI index (Vietnamese 4.2%), whilst the value of this index for Ukrainians (0.7%) is similar to the one of the majority. The analysis of immigrants’ gambling behaviour shows that Ukrainians are more like the majority population. The Vietnamese immigrants differ from both the majority population and Ukrainians in terms of attitudes whilst gambling is for them as common problem as alcohol consumption, and an even bigger problem than smoking.

Gambling encompasses a wide variety of activities, and the structural characteristics of each form contribute to its potential risk. However, the literature does not fully agree on the risk levels of certain gambling forms. In this study, we classify less risky gambling forms (soft forms) based on public perceptions of their riskiness. We examine the link between gambling experience and problem gambling prevalence. A survey was conducted in a model region of the Czech Republic, a post-socialist country with high gambling availability, with N = 2,498 respondents. A typology of gambling forms (lotteries, betting, and casino games) was created based on perceived risk similarities. Lotteries are the most frequently played gambling form, with 86.3% reporting lifetime participation. Among those who exclusively engage in lottery-type forms, 15 percentage points more women than men participated in the last year, and the gap widens to 31 points over a lifetime. Forms of gambling perceived as more risky show a lower proportion of non-problem gamblers, both for recent and lifetime participation. Furthermore, individuals who gambled within the past month or year are at higher risk of developing gambling problems compared to those whose gambling experiences were less recent.
