NORWICH, Conn. (AP) -- A new report says Norwich and New London have a higher percentage of problem gamblers who called the state Helpline than would be expected based on their population.
The report was released by the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling.
The report says Norwich and New London each had 4.8 times the number expected for their populations, a figure the report attributes to their proximity to two large casinos.
The report says East Hartford residents call 2.8 times more than expected, and Hartford residents called 1.6 times more than expected.
The report is based on calls received in 2008.
