Join Recovery Resources Cuyahoga County Problem Gambling Coalition on March 24, 2021 from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. for a special screening of The Addiction Machine, followed by a group discussion.
The Addiction Machine reveals the highly organized network of mathematicians, musicians, and designers as they create and display electronic gaming machines. In addition to hearing from neuroscientists, anthropologists, and game theorists who explain the science behind addiction, we meet those who have experienced the other side of gambling.
