SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) - It's National Problem Gambling Awareness Month and just recently, New YorkState has made it possible for you to put yourself on a list, essentially banning yourself from racetracks and casinos! It's all in an effort for troubled gamblers to take control of their lives. One woman says each day is a battle to keep herself from betting.

At the height of her gambling addiction, Joyce was spending thousands each day.

"I started off with some quarters and it got to the point that wasn't enough for me," said Joyce.

A member of Gambler's Anonymous, Joyce asked that we not share her full name or show her face.

Her gambling addiction started off as many do: at a machine.

"When I was standing in front of this machine, very mesmerizing. It had my full attention," said Joyce.

She says it was her first win that sealed the deal.

"The worst thing that could've happened to me was win in the beginning," said Joyce.

As more casinos pop up across the state one addiction counselor has concerns.

"If you win, our belief is that gene is then triggered and you end up doing what we call 'chasing the bet,'" said Judi Rozsa, an addiction counselor.

That chase, whether it be a sports parlay, an online bet or at a casino can last all day every day.

"Gambling is socially acceptable and it is 24-hour accessible," said Joyce.

Del LagoCasino says it promotes "responsible gambling," meaning it's committed to keeping underage individuals and those on the exclusion or self-exclusion lists away.

There's a state hotline too. That number is 1-877-8-HOPE-N-Y or send a text to HOPENY.

Annual Problem Gambling Awareness Month

MARYLAND - Problem Gambling Awareness Month starts today, nationwide.

And Maryland Lottery and Gaming is just one organization doing their part.

47 ABC spoke with Carole Gentry, the director of communications.

Gentry said the state's casinos pay annual assessment fees, which are set aside for "responsible gambling programs".

She said last year, the state collected $3.8 million in fees.

I mean for most people gambling, play at casinos, playing the lottery it's a form of entertainment. But there is a small percentage of people who have a problem with gambling and this is a great way to raise awareness about that, Gentry said.

47 ABC also spoke with Loreen Rugle, the program director at Maryland's Center of Excellence on Program Gambling.

Rugle said that stereotypes about gambling addictions often involve greed.

She adds that this month, the aim is to erase those stereotypes while providing help and resources for those with gambling addictions.

It's your neighbors, your friends, your family. And most people feel so shameful to talk about it. They let it progress until they hit absolute bottom before they reach out and let anybody know, Rugle said.

Both Gentry and Rugle stress that if you, or someone you know, might be struggling with a gambling problem there is a toll free number to call.

Eight triad-controlled gambling dens were closed down in Mong Kok with the arrest of 57 people during a week-long police operation that ended on Wednesday. Police seized HK$49,000 in cash along with 28 arcade game machines from the illegal gambling venues that were operated in residential and commercial units in the district.

Police nab 21, seize HK$53,000 in cash at Hong Kong game centre converted into a gambling den after midnight "One of the gambling establishments had been in operation for just two days before our raid," he said. To avoid police detection, the gambling dens served regular clients. Security cameras had been installed outside every venue, and entrances had two doors. "During the raids, officers had to break through the doors at most of these venues to gain entry," Ma said. According to police, arcade machines were used for betting games. Gamblers were required to buy cards to record their scores before playing on the machines. Points could be exchanged for cash with the operators taking 10 per cent as commission, Ma said. "Daily revenue was between HK$3,000 and HK$10,000 at each venue," the chief inspector said.

Seminole Tribe tells Florida leaders their gambling proposals don't ... - Miami Herald

JEFFERSON CITY Missouri could reap a $90 million per year jackpot if it allows slot machines in bars, truck stops and fraternal organizations, according to a new analysis of a gambling expansion proposal.

In addition to funneling more money to the state, members of a Senate panel Tuesday heard advocates say video gambling could generate an extra $20 million a year for local governments when as many as 15,000 machines are fully up and running by 2020.

The measure is being pushed by coin-operated vending machine companies, whove long wanted a chance to put terminals into local establishments over the objection of the states casino industry.

All this does is give small business a leg up. It gives them a chance to get in the game, said Tom Cobb, Acme Music & Vending Co. of St. Joseph.

The legislation sponsored by Sen. Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, would allow as many as five video gambling machines in taverns, restaurants and truck stops and as many as 10 machines for benevolent organizations such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars or the Elks Club.

The plan would allow a maximum bet of $2 for each play and a maximum winning amount of $500.

A similar measure is pending in the House, where its sponsor said the states tight budget situation could make it an attractive time to generate cash without raising taxes.

Missouris 13 casinos are poised to fight the proposals, pointing to Illinois as an example of how video gambling in bars and truck stops has eroded the market share of casinos in the Land of Lincoln.

Mike Winter, executive director of the Missouri Casino Gaming Association, said Illinois casinos have seen a 13 percent reduction in revenue since terminals first began appearing in Illinois taverns in 2012.

We see this as significant, Winter told the Senate panel. Obviously people are taking advantage of playing at local facilities.

The plan would nearly double the number of slot machines in the state, from the current level of 17,650 to 32,650.

Supporters acknowledged slots in bars could hurt casinos.

They very well may lose a small amount of adjusted gross revenues, said Charles Andy Arnold, a lobbyist for J & J Ventures of Missouri, which also has operations in Illinois.

But, Arnold said, the plan also will create thousands of new jobs.

Sen. Jay Wasson, R-Nixa, expressed skepticism over the plan, suggesting video gambling could cannibalize the states gambling revenue.

Do you really think thats new money wed be getting? Wasson asked, adding hes never been a big fan of trying to generate money for schools via gambling.

Gov. Eric Greitens, a Republican who has not previously served in elected office, has not publicly expressed a position on the measure.

The legislation is Senate Bill 452.

How many of us have ever played some sort of a game of chance? A friendly wager among friends? A card game? The office March Madness pool? The impulse buy of a lottery ticket at the convenience store where you stop for gas?

For most people, this is not a problem. Gambling is, after all, one of the oldest of human activities. However, for some people gambling is as dangerous as a harmful drug. Gambling addiction can ruin lives. It can lead to bankruptcy, divorce, theft, prison and, in some cases, suicide.

Otto: March is National Problem Gambling Awareness Month - Roanoke Times

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has agreed to hear Phil Iveys infamous high-stakes baccarat case.

Ivey won 7.8 million British pounds while playing at Crockfords Casino London in August 2012. Ivey and a playing partner were able to spot manufacturing defects, in the form of asymmetries, on the backs of playing cards to gain an edge on the unsuspecting house.

Ivey never touched the cards and though his edge sorting isnt cheating, the casino refused to pay that man his money. Crockfords has so far been successful in keeping it.

Ivey lost a court decision in October 2014. The 10-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner lost an appeal in November of last year.

The New Jersey native issued a statement Tuesday following the Supreme Courts decision to hear his case.

Last Novembers Court of Appeal ruling made no sense to me, Ivey said. The original trial judge ruled that I was not dishonest and none of the three Appeal Court judges disagreed, and yet the decision went against me by a majority of 2 to 1. I am so pleased that the Supreme Court has granted me permission to fight for what I genuinely believe is the right thing to do in my circumstances, and for the entire gaming industry. I look forward to the Supreme Court reversing the decision against me.

Iveys attorney Matt Dowd also issued a statement praising the Supreme Court.

Phil and his legal team are delighted that the Supreme Court judges have decided that the Court of Appeals decision should be reviewed, Dowd said. The Court of Appeals ruling left the interpretation of Section 42 of the Gambling Act totally unclear and the decision to grant permission to appeal demonstrates that the Supreme Court agrees with that view.

Crockfords is owned by Genting Casinos, one of the largest casino operators in the world.

Ivey is fighting in a similar case over in Atlantic City. He edge sorted against Borgata, the citys largest casino, and was recently ordered to repay about $10 million. Unlike Crockfords, Borgata paid Ivey out before realizing that he had outsmarted the game.

UK Supreme Court Decides To Hear Phil Ivey's Gambling Case - CardPlayer.com

We're live at the Game Developers Conference all week, with news, interviews and livestreams direct from San Francisco.

Andy Miller, chairman and co-founder of NRG Esports, said he thought the growth of gambling on esports was inevitable. In fact, he thinks its a big reason why professional sports teams are interested in the space at all.

Miller was sitting on a panel at the Game Developers Conference with other team owners, including Splyce CEO Marty Strenczewilk, Team Dignitas CEO Jonathan Kemp and Cloud9 board member Dan Fiden. During the question and answer portion of the panel, one audience member broached the topic of gambling. Miller seemed excited about the prospect of its growth, while the other panel members nodded along.

I think of gambling as in daily fantasy, Miller said. I think its going to be a big part of esports. I think, frankly, its one of the reasons why were seeing a lot of traditional sports teams interested in [the space]. Its a big opportunity.

A sort of land grab began in 2015 when NBA star Rick Fox paid more than $1 million for Gravity Gaming. In 2016, the Philadelphia 76ers became the first North American sports team to acquire an esports franchise, merging Team Dignitas and Team Apex under their banner. Then 2017 started with news that the NHLs Boston Bruins had invested in Splyce.

The trend, say the panelists, is likely to continue because of simple demographics. Its a fact that esports fans are younger and more engaged that traditional sports fans, and there are more of them every day.

One of the pillars of making money off them, Miller said, will be gambling.

[Pro sports teams] missed the opportunity with daily fantasy. The NFL should own fantasy football, and they dont. ... But, I think its an inescapable part of esports and could probably... be a real positive if harnessed for viewership.

Miller said that he saw skin trading and gambling in Valves Counter-Strike: Global Offensive as just the beginning.

I think we started a little bit with CSGO, we saw it start in the wrong way and I think it will come back in a way thats productive and safe.

Miller also said player unionization was just as inevitable as the growth of gambling.

Its just going so fast, Miller said. A few years ago, the teams were all run by the players on the team. Now, were talking about billionaires who own NFL teams. Its expansion. Its incredible.

Most of our players each have their own lawyer. ... So were starting to see with CSGO, the players getting together. And we welcome it, as owners. Its a really important thing. Because if theres a players union, then theres rules about contracts and theyll hold their contracts. Its really hard to hold a 16-year-old to his contract.

A new bill has been introduced that maintains allowances for gaming or gambling facilities during village fiestas but limits these activities to the legal boundaries of the village hosting the fiesta.

Sen. Michael San Nicolas, the chairman of the legislative committee on rules and the bill's author, said the measure Bill 29-34 was meant to close a legal loophole that essentially allowed for the year-round operation of the casino facility in Tiyan, which is also used during the annual Liberation Carnival.

Village mayors can obtain a permit to conduct gaming activities during fiestas, but the law does not specify that such activities be confined to that village, San Nicolas said.

In early February, Jose Cruz, president of the anti-gambling group Linala Sin Casino, drew attention to the use of the Tiyan casino facility by several other villages during the latter part of 2016. Cruz, a former Guam Education Board member, stated that he believed there was a lack of accountability on how often gambling occurred at the casino and recommended that gambling events be held at the villages so that mayors can monitor the activities while giving residents the opportunity to"self-police their community."

Agana Heights Mayor and Mayors' Council of Guam (MCOG) President Paul McDonald said theTiyan facility was a convenient and cost-saving location for gambling activities. Hosting these events within the respective villages would call for the designation of certain areas, which may not be available, leaving mayors to possibly construct their own village venues for the occasional gambling event.

At over $2,000 per event, proceeds were minimal, according to McDonald, and were relegated back to the village hosting the gambling activity.

Not a 'crutch' for gambling

However, after an initial meeting with San Nicolas to talk about issues pertaining to the MCOG, the group's executive leadership appears to have placed its backing behind Bill 29.

"We discussed how we wanted to make sure that the village fiestas weren't being viewed as a crutch to run a year-round casino operation in Tiyan, and they agreed that that's not the perception they want to put out there," San Nicolas said.

"In consultation with them, we introduced this bill to make sure that any fiesta-related activities are taking place within the respective villages."

San Nicolas said he had not yet spoken to mayors outside the executive team about the bill.

McDonald said he felt the concerns were overblown and that by utilizing the Tiyan facility, the mayors believed they were limiting the exposure to gambling activities. However, he said he agreed with limiting such activities to the specific villages. The gaming activities had only occurred last year, McDonald added. Even without the use of the facility, mayors would try to find ways to raise funds for their villages, he said.

The bill is expected to be discussed today during a regular MCOG meeting.

Fifteen Chinese nationals were arrested Monday night for alleged involvement in illegal online gambling in Pasig City.

The Anti-Cybercrime Group of the Philippine National Police also arrested a Filipino male during a raid on the office of YD International Inc. at Belvedere Tower, San Miguel Avenue.

We secured certification from Pagcor that they are not authorized for online gambling, said Supt. Jay Guillermo, leader of the raiding team.

The arrested Chinese nationals included 10 men and five women. The Filipino suspect was identified as Russellbert Yuzon Villar. The PNP-ACG conducted the raid after obtaining a search warrant issued by the Manila Regional Trial Court.

According to Guillermo, the suspects put up a website for online gamblers in mainland China. When you go up the building, you wont recognize what company it is because the names are in Chinese.

The suspects allegedly recruited Chinese nationals as employees and brought them to Philippines as tourists. Every three or six months, they will be going back to China to apply for a tourist visa and then come back here, Guillermo added.

The online players in mainland China were required to open an account with the website. Losses are automatically deducted while winnings are automatically added to the account. But if you win big, there is a big possibility they will shut down the website so you cannot claim your winnings anymore. It is considered a scam, he said.

We received complaints from (players from) other countries like China that they won but they were not able to claim their prize, he added. PHILIP C. TUBEZA

The gambling industry declared A$1,294,501 in donations to Australian political parties in 2015-16. Our analysis of the latest Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) donation disclosures shows various branches of the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) were by far the biggest donors among gambling industry groups.

Collectively, the AHA showered the major parties with $522,478 in declared donations. Lagging a little behind the AHA last year was ClubsNSW, which donated $155,603.

Two casino operators, Crown and Star Entertainment, declared $168,491 and $77,200 respectively in 2015-16. Tabcorp and Tattersalls chipped in $164,650 and $94,329 respectively.

Assorted other entities such as ClubsQld, the Sutherland Tradies Club and the Randwick Labor Club declared donations of between $17,050 and $50,000 each.

Overall, the Coalition parties were the winners from gambling donations reported in 2015-16, receiving a total of $770,861. The ALP received $523,640. This was a 60:40 split.

The gambling lobby invested quite disproportionately in individual Labor candidates, donating $116,000 to individual campaigns. Liberal and National Party candidates were recorded as receiving $41,000 in specific campaign donations.

This doesnt mean such donations werent made but it is revealing that mostly ALP candidates details were disclosed.

Donations to MPs

Big donations from the gambling lobby are clearly not new. But this years returns demonstrate that even when the stakes arent that high, the gambling lobby continues to defend its interests with major political parties.

Between 2010 and 2012, when stakes were higher, these actors and others spent $3,478,581 on campaign costs to defeat the gambling reforms agreed between then prime minister Julia Gillard and independent MP Andrew Wilkie.

Wilkie and another long-time gambling reformist, Senator Nick Xenophon, list donations reform as an important element of any decent gambling reform package. They know how much influence the gambling lobby can afford to buy.

The funding of specific politicians has also continued. ClubsNSW turned this into something of an art form when the Wilkie-Gillard reforms were proposed and then defeated. Undoubtedly, influential caucus members articulating the gambling lobbys perspective helped underline the political dangers of reform.

The 2015-16 returns dont include all the donations made in respect of the 2016 election. This was demonstrated by the curious case of Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbulls own donation of $1.75 million to the Liberal Party. So, we can expect to find out a bit more in about a year barring some much-needed substantial reform of the system.

In the 2015-16 returns, however, the federal branch of the AHA identified specific beneficiaries of its largesse. Its original return included notations of donations to the campaigns of the following politicians:

A subsequent amendment to the return, dated February 1 2017, has now been submitted to the AEC, excluding these names.

ClubsNSW also noted donations on its return to the following:

This may provide some insight into what the gambling lobby thinks is the best way to focus attention of specific members of parties.

For example, the effectiveness of the anti-reform campaign in 2010-11 was based on the carrot-and-stick approach adopted under the leadership of ClubsNSW. This involved campaigning against individual politicians who were seen to support the Gillard-Wilkie agreement.

At the same time, the lobby actively supported politicians who were perceived as friends for whatever reason.

Federal MP Kevin Andrews also gleaned a contribution of $2,000 to his Menzies 200 campaign fund from ClubsNSW. This was for a dinner he organised at Melbournes Athenaeum Club. ClubsNSW donated a total of $40,000 between 2013 and 2015 to Andrews even though he represents a Victorian seat.

With donations from the AHA included, Andrews campaign fund received a total of $90,000 from gambling industry interests over this period.

He was the opposition spokesman for gambling matters prior to the 2013 election. After this and on his appointment as the responsible minister, he quickly repealed the already watered-down pokie reforms the Gillard government had passed.

Road to reform

There is no suggestion or implication politicians or political parties are influenced in their decision-making or policy positions by political donations. Nonetheless, a more transparent and much more timely political donations reporting system would enhance public confidence in the quality of decision-making, and its relationship to the publics best interests.

Details of donations are often lacking. This is because declaration requirements of the current system are limited. Donations of less than $13,000 do not need to be specifically disclosed. Cumulative donations to different branches of the same organisation (otherwise known as donation splitting) can amount to more than this without any need for disclosure.

Further, donations to associated entities are used to muddy the waters in effect, to launder donations by disguising the name of the donor. This also avoids disclosure.

Both Labor leader Bill Shorten and Turnbull have signalled recently they want donations reform on the table. It may be time to remind them a complete loss of faith in political processes is not inevitable. Its something politicians can tackle, and relatively easily.

Serious political donations reform is a big step towards a more trusted political system. You can bet on it.

Gambling lobby gives big to political parties, and names names - EconoTimes

by: Richard Elliot Updated: Feb 27, 2017 - 7:26 PM

ATLANTA - A bill that would have allowed casino gambling in Georgia is dead for this year.

The sponsor of Senate Bill 79, Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta, told Channel 2's Richard Elliotthat he does not have the votes to get the bill out of committee.

I am not discouraged, Beach told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.I will double down and plan to crisscross the state starting in April to build support for the bill in 2018.

Beach's original plan called for up to six casinos and a horse racing track in the state. He eventually reduced that to no more than two destination resort casinos; one in the Metro Atlanta area and another in a smaller, secondary city like Savannah or Columbus.

RELATED STORIES:

The bill required the casinos to pay 20 percent of gambling revenues to the state to help pay for HOPE scholarships, needs-based scholarships and pre-K programs.

Beach said he plans to spend this year educating the state about the bill by visiting local Rotary Clubs and speaking with education leaders, hospital administrators and anyone else who will listen, to garner public backing.

I do think we have the votes, Beach said. We feel very confident we have the votes on the Senate floor, but you have to get it out of committee to get it to the floor.

State Rep. Ron Stephens' version of the bill is technically still alive but without Senate support, and even he conceded some defeat.

We will not give up on these kids, Stephens said. We will not give up on the HOPE scholarship, the HOPE grant and pre-k funding and, as it continues to dwindle. We'll be back again.

Mike Griffin, of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board, said social and economic conservatives joined to defeat the bill because they both think it's bad for Georgia.

We can be thankful that legislators during this session have given an ear to understand that the end does not always justify the means and that we can't always put and should never put money over morality, Griffin said.

15 nabbed Chinese nationals face illegal gambling raps - Inquirer.net

A golf club couldn't afford to maintain its greens and began to lose members after a would-be accountant stole more than $330,000 in bar takings and membershipfees.

Aspendale's Rossdale Golf Club was forced to sell part of its land to stay afloat after Sharon Breyiannis stole the money to feed her gambling addiction.

Breyiannis was on Tuesday jailed for three years and four months after admitting to the theft.

It was Breyiannis' job to deposit membership fees and takings from the bar and pro shop into the club's account, but she instead either kept the cash and manipulated an accounting system or diverted money into her own account to fund her pokies addiction.

County Court judge Graeme Hicks said the thefts had a "snowball" effect on the golf club.The condition of the course deteriorated because the club could not afford to maintain it, which in turn drove members away, the court heard.

The thefts also caused great stress for those who ran the club, given the financial problems and declining membership.

Judge Hicks delayed sentencing on Tuesday after he was told Breyiannis had failed to begin paying back the $331,855 she stole by agreeing to relinquish her share of the mortgage of her family home.

After an adjournment, the court heard she would no longer resist an application by prosecutors to claim back the money. Judge Hicks ordered the club be repaid the money, although it was unclear when this would happen.

Breyiannis quit her job in 2011, when the club's auditors discovered financial irregularities, was arrested at the start of 2014 and finally pleaded guilty to three representative charges of theft.

Judge Hicks said the mother of two adult sons began working at Rossdale in 2002 as a receptionist but was promoted to lookafter finances when other staff left, but often felt overwhelmed and stressed in her role. She gambledheavily to cope, the court heard.

Judge Hicks said Breyiannis' offending was serious given it was hard to detect and often committed by people in positions of responsibility. Deterring others from similar offending was important, he said.

But he acknowledged Breyiannis' guilty pleas, remorse and excellent prospects for rehabilitation.

She must spend two years in jail before she is eligible for parole.

Gambling addict jailed after stealing $330,000 from golf club - The Age - The Age

The compulsion of betting, wagering, winning and losing will be the focus of an upcoming public forum hosted by the Newington Kiwanis Club.

On Monday, Feb. 27, the club will present two members of Gamblers Anonymous at its monthly speaker meeting at Paradise Restaurant, 10 East St., New Britain.

This event is a must see for family members and friends of susceptible persons as well as for those who find themselves enchanted by the possibilityof the big win, Kiwanis Program Chairman Al Cohen said. With the advent of so many well-publicized gambling facilities, the temptations of the big win may ensnare ordinary persons from all levels of life.

Cohen has invited two Tonys to tell their tales that evening both recovering gambling addicts. Tony M. is driving down from his home in Massachusetts, to reach people who might be considering putting an end to their games.

Our numbers have dwindled through the years; less people seem to be seeking help, Tony M. said Tuesday. We believe there arent necessarily less people out there that have the addiction, just less people seeking help. Thats why this is a great opportunity to have the voice of Gamblers Anonymous be heard.

A recovering alcoholic might count the days since their last drink; Tony placed his last bet on Dec. 5, 2004.

Ive been clean over 12 years. My relationships with my children, my wife and family members have gotten better. My life in general has gotten better.

The struggle of a gambling addict follows the same vein as that of a drug or alcohol addict. Gambling, however, is not as easily recognizable as the latter types of addictions.

It will make a good person do some things they wouldnt normally do, Tony M. explained. Steal and lie to people they love. But its more of a hidden disease. If a person is drunk or on drugs you can usually tell, but if a person is a compulsive gambler you cant read that just by looking at them.

He met the other Tony, who lives in southern Connecticut, at a GA meeting nearby. The pair will both share their stories and answer questions from the audience at the upcoming event.

Theres no cure for this, you dont graduate or anything like that, Tony M. said. Its something you have to work on pretty much the rest of your life.

Radio and television host Steve Parker will conduct the program, which begins at 7 p.m. Those who wish to dine are encouraged to arrive earlier. Admission is free and walk-ins are welcome. The Newington Kiwanis free public forum nights began in 1986 and reoccur on the last Monday of each month except May and December.

The American Psychiatric Association defines pathological gambling as a medical disorder directly impacting over two million people in the U.S. Warning signs include an obsession with having to get the mail, missing work, strange phone calls, disappearing for long periods of time, lying, missing money, calls from bill collectors and irritability.

For immediate help with a gambling addiction, call the Gamblers Anonymous hotline at 855-222-5542.

Newington forum on gambling addiction today - Bristol Press

Theres no such thing as luck, but compulsive gamblers should at least feel fortunate that the states largest employer is introducing a problem gambling program that locals will begin seeing soon.

While it isnt perfect, the GameSense program MGM Resorts International will unveil by the end of the year has the potential of providing a technological tap on the shoulder to players who cant quit gambling when they should.

MGM was ordered by Massachusetts gaming regulators to implement the program in that state when MGM Springfield opens its doors next year. When company officials took a look at GameSense, they decided to introduce it to all its U.S. properties, including 10 in Las Vegas.

MGM is partnering with the British Columbia Lottery Corp. to introduce the high-profile awareness program.

Its expected that GameSense will have a visible presence in MGM casinos with signage, kiosks and a team of advisers who will be trained to look for and talk to distressed gamblers who probably should have quit playing earlier.

One of the missions of GameSense will be to educate people about how gambling works so that they make better decisions about their play limits. Bo Bernhard, the executive director of UNLVs International Gaming Institute, says GameSense will function like a product label, giving consumers detailed information about the entertainment theyve chosen to participate in.

Its going to mean blowing up some of the commonly held misperceptions about slot machines, such as this machine is due to hit or that a certain machine is cold or hot. The reality is that a player has the same random odds for a favorable outcome every time the game is played.

MGM also is giving UNLV $1 million over five years to gather research on problem gambling, and that research and some policy and regulatory questions MGM will have to review could lead to even greater player awareness.

Imagine if a player could set limits for time or money spent playing and place those parameters onto the players loyalty card. When a player reaches that limit of time or money, the machine produces a reminder to the player. At that point, the player must make a decision: Should I reject the self-imposed limitation, or should I stick to the commitment I made?

Clearly, a player can simply remove the loyalty card and quit playing or go someplace else to gamble.

Alan Feldman, executive vice president of global government and industry affairs for MGM and a longtime advocate for problem gambling awareness programs, said some research has suggested that getting an earlier reminder about nearing the limit for time or money spent has produced a negative result. Instead of winding down, the player increases bets or tries to chase a loss more aggressively.

Thats why the UNLV research, which will be shared with the University of British Columbia and Harvard Universitys medical school on addictive behavior, is so important. The right balance must be struck to be effective, and researchers will try to find out what that is.

GameSense doesnt have all the answers.

But its a good start.

MGM's new problem gambling program designed to raise awareness - Las Vegas Review-Journal

In a bid to move Japans casino policies forward, members of the opposition party have come up with a new legislation that will deal with problem gamblers in the country.

The Osaka-centric Nippon Ishin no Kai party is hoping that a cooperation with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party will boost the citys chances of being picked for one of the casino resort licenses, the Japan Times reported.

The Nippon Ishin bill sets out a variety of measures to deal with problem gamblers to ensure that the problem is dealt with in a comprehensive manner, said Nippon Ishin policy chief Hitoshi Asada, according to the news outlet.

Nippon Ishins bill, submitted to the Upper House in early February, targets problem gamblers and their families. In it, the opposition party identified the need for policies to deal with crime, suicide, poverty, debts and other problems that occur as a result of problem gambling, noting the need for the creation of a basic program that will be subject to revision at least once every five years. The bill is also seeking a set of rules for casino advertising and admission charges.

But more than that, Nippon Ishins bill wants puts the obligation of dealing with problem gamblers on central and regional governments, casino operators, the people of Japan and health professionals, according to the report.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abes LDP is already preparing new legislation detailing methods gambling operators can employ to reduce problem gambling behavior. Under LDPs proposal, the new legislation will offer guidelines for municipal governments and gambling operatorsincluding the countrys ubiquitous pachinko hallssuch as allowing families to apply for bans on their relatives patronizing gambling venues, similar to programs available in Singapore. The measures could also include new restrictions on online horse betting, one of the few forms of wagering currently allowed in the country.

Nippon Ishin, which has its own timetable for an Osaka casino, is hoping their bill will help drive the Diet debate on casino rules forward so that the second integrated resorts bill will pass by the end of the year.

Osaka Gov. Ichiro Matsui, also a co-leader of Nippon Ishin, said the ideal scenario is that at least part of an integrated resort would open in Osaka by 2023, and that would be in operation to welcome the World Expo in 2025.
