My understanding is that 1-800-gambler is how casinos were able to be legalized in Maryland. Instead of paying taxes, casinos have to pay some fixed cost to fund anti-gambling programs.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that this billboard is just as effective as any program that is funded by the casino industry.
