1. Two problem gambling categories: NG/NPG = Non-Gamblers plus Non-Problem-Gamblers; AR/PG = At-risk gamblers plus PG = Problem Gamblers.

2. Omnibus test of final model: advertisement sample (Block: Likelihood χ 2 = 37.049; df = 1; P < 0.001***; Model: Likelihood Ratio χ 2 = 987.395; df = 11; P < 0.001***); Qualtrics sample (Block: Likelihood χ 2 = 11.083; df = 1; P = 0.001**; Model: Likelihood Ratio χ 2 = 288.518; df = 12; P = 0.001**).

3. Sample size for the casino table games category was too small for this analysis.
