The present study investigated the present trends in adult gambling and gambling behavior prediction variables of among elementary school students.

Second, sample of 282 elementary school fifth and sixth grade students, using regression analysis, "interest on for adult gambling", "perceived family gambling", "irrational gambling belief", "behavior activating system(BAS)" and "the interaction effects of factors and sex" predicted "gambling behavior". As a result of the investigation into children's awareness of adult gambling, i.e. "lotto", the affirmation rate(77.7%) for the response "I know" was very high, "lotto" showed the highest rate among children for awareness of adult gambling. These results showed that male children, with a high domestic income level and children whose pocket money level was high, and sixth grade children had a high interest level relatively. Second, these results showed that as "perceived gambling", "interest in adult gambling", and "irrational gambling beliefs" were higher, and "gambling behavior" increases. The implications gleaned from this study were discussed with considerations for future study and practical aspect.
