Gambling May Keep Elderly Minds Healthy

Scientists studying aging and degeneration of the brain have found gambling at online casinos to be healthy activity for the brains of senior citizens. Sedentary existence causes loss of ability in mental as well as physical life for the aging, and the challenge of playing and mastering Internet casino games can constitute necessary exercise for the mind.

As long as gambling continues in moderation, playing at Internet casinos may help keep elderly people happier, more alert, and more capable.

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Was there any indication in the report as to which games are more likely to help?

Seems that it has been know for years that continually exercising the mind helps with dementia-related disease later in life. But, personally, I don't see much mental stimulation to, say, roulette, as opposed to poker; and not as much in blackjack vs. poker. . .[/FONT]

I'm shocked! Is that true? One of my family members, who is above 50 plays online casinos regularly. He seems very active. May be being attentive and using the brain does help.

I'm not surprised 😁

I guess that many games requiring concentration and brain effort may help 😁

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]What I really want is to be a paid test subject for one of these studies when I get to be old enough! All I'd ask is a few buy-ins and a per diem for food. . . πŸ˜„[/FONT]
