Gambling is currently widespread across the globe and despite legally restricted,
it is significantly common in Brazil. A traditional and common form of gambling
in Brazil is the Brazilian animal game (BAG)--"Jogo do bicho" in Portuguese. In
2013, BAG activities collected approximately 19 billion Brazilian
reais--equivalent to more than 8 billon American dollars, a figure almost 60 %
higher than legal lotteries. Although a common form of gambling, the gambling
behavior and psychopathology of gambling disorder (GD) associated with BAG has
never been systematically studied. The aim of this study is to conduct, the first
research approaching GD due to BAG. We assessed 897 participants of whom 63
subjects (7.0 %) presented with GD due to BAG and 834 with GD associated with
other forms of gambling. After comparing these two groups, major differences were
found in demographics, gambling behavior elements and psychopathological
variables. This research reinforces the need for further research on BAG and the
need for specific approaches in GD. The particularities of BAG may affect
treatment strategies as, for example, suggest some adaptations in social and
psychotherapeutic approaches. We also highlight the need to acknowledge the
"hidden" BAG as a potential addictive game.
