In Episode 3 we are introduced to Gabriel Brooks and Mario Ferrari, members of the Centre for Gambling Research at the University of British Columbia. Gabriel discusses the importance of personality on gambling behaviour while Mario introduces us to the relationship between hormones and problem gambling. We consider the perception of gambling, and gamblers, in the media.
