Phase One of the 1991 survey involved contacting 4053 people, mainly by telephone, and asking them about their gambling habits. Phase Two involved in-depth, face-to-face interviews with 217 people selected from Phase One participants. The last seven years have seen a substantial growth in gaming opportunities in New Zealand. The report focuses upon the experiences of four distinct groups of people, within the 143 interviewed, during this period. Each group had varying levels of gambling involvement in 1991, and the report provides a valuable insight into how the last seven years have impacted upon that gambling involvement.
