Reader's Question: How many people are employed in the gaming industry in Gibraltar?

(Via e-mail / Photo title: 'Gambling away futures' from Oceans Rehab) This is not the first time the question has been asked, but until now, we've been unable to come up with an answer. However, we googled the question as it was written, and the answer we got was as follows (but, just as we were posting this item, there was an electricity cut and we lost the source, which we are sure is reliable): "There are a total of 1,905 persons employed by the 18 'remote gambling companies' established in Gibraltar as at September 15th 2010. Gibraltarians account for 274 of the placements, with ‘other British’ taking up 981 of the jobs and Spaniards 110. The remainder is made up by a variety of nationalities. The largest employer is Victor Chandler with 266 employees (50 Gibraltarians), followed by Stan James 253 (14), PartyGaming 201 (28) and 888 Holdings with 196 (31)." (Have a gambling problem? Maybe Gamblers Anonymous in Gibraltar can help.)
