The gaming industry in Macao has developed rapidly over the last decade. Because of the low requirements and the high salary, many young adults are engaged in work in the casinos. However, because of the particularity of the work and the characteristics of young adults, it is highly probable that these young gaming employees suffer mental health problems. This paper tried to explore the mental health crises among young gaming employees, focusing on the aspects of stress, gambling, substance abuse, and suicide through research, social context, and theory.
