Title
Do Ontario and its Gaming Venues Owe a Duty of Care to Problem Gamblers?
Abstract
Government-sponsored gambling is a signficant source of revenue for the Province of Ontario, but it comes at a significant social costs to a vulnerable segment of society. It is estimated that 4.8% of adults who gamble are problem gamblers, but they contribute 35% of Ontario's gaming revenues. Is Ontario responsible at law for harm suffered by problem gamblers in the province's casinos? In this paper, the authors address this question by considering the common law duty of care, particularly in the context of commercial host liability, and its possible extension to the problem gambling context.
