Arizona Department of Gaming launches responsible gaming training initiative
The free, self-paced training programme is available online.
US.- The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) has announced the launch of a responsible gaming training initiative offering free, self-paced training. It says participants will learn the fundamentals of risks associated with gambling and how problem gambling differs from positive play.
The three self-paced phases have optional continued learning quizzes at the end of each with a total of around 3 hours of content. A webinar will be held on April 28, hosted by Jessica Roza, assistant director of government and community affairs.
She said: “Offering this responsible gaming training is about increasing knowledge, confidence, and skills that make a tremendous difference in improving the conversations and interactions we may encounter day-to-day. I’m excited to share information and resources about responsible gaming that promote a safer, more sustainable gaming environment – and I look forward to briefing community members on how to make this training work for them.
“For many years, responsible gaming training has served as a cornerstone of education for gaming industry employees, strengthening safety and promoting responsible entertainment across the state. Today, we’re excited to expand that impact by offering an on-demand training designed for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of responsible gaming—including those who may not currently participate in gambling, or work in the industry. This broader approach reflects our commitment to the Arizonans we serve.”
In March, ADG announced the launch of new public service announcements, including Take Back the Game, a digital, TV, and radio advertisement that raises awareness of the state’s self-exclusion programme.
