Show Notes
In Greater Bostons Asian communities, gambling addiction is a growing concern, with unchecked street games leading to serious issues like family breakups and bankruptcies. Local leaders are combating this by hosting free events and patrolling streets, but treatment options are limited due to lack of resources and language barriers. Meanwhile, flashy casinos are drawing in crowds, including families during Lunar New Year celebrations. Grassroots efforts are gaining momentum to reclaim neighborhoods from the grip of chance.
