The number of moderate-risk gamblers was 555,000, and the number of low-risk gamblers was approximately 1,430,000. Both headline rates of problem gambling and at-risk rates have been relatively stable for many years.</p><p> </p><p>In October the government published a consultation on Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility across the industry.
