Right before G2E will gather the biggest and brightest
members of the gaming industry under one roof, the National Center for
Responsible Gaming (NCRG) will examine the latest research and resources about
gambling disorders and responsible gaming at the 13th annual NCRG
Conference on Gambling and Addiction. From September 30 to October 2, the NCRG
Conference will co-locate with G2E, and it’s a prime time for members of the gaming industry, research and
treatment communities to collaborate and discuss some of the emerging issues that we currently face when
addressing gambling disorders and responsible gaming.
Titled “Exploring
New Trends in Recovery, Research and Responsible Gaming,” the three-day event will include some nationally
renowned speakers, including Dr. Thomas McLellan, CEO of the Treatment Research
Institute and former science advisor and deputy director of the White House
Office of National Drug Control Policy, and Dr. H. Westley Clark, director of SAMHSA’s
Center of Substance Abuse within the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
One session that we’re greatly looking forward to
includes a roundtable discussion about regulating responsible gaming on the
Internet. The panel will feature Mark Lipparelli, chairman of the Nevada Gaming
Control Board; Mitch Garber, CEO of Caesars Interactive Entertainment; Simo
Dragicevic, CEO of Bet Buddy; and Clive Hawkswood, CEO of the Remote Gaming
Association. We’re sure that this session will spark some intriguing
conversations about the direction that responsible gaming programs need to take
for online gamblers.
We’re also excited about the discussions that will arise
from each keynote presentation. The NCRG Conference provides a unique
opportunity for casino operators and regulators to understand the science behind
the best practices of responsible gaming programs. These conversations don’t
end at the NCRG Conference – they continue at G2E and throughout the rest of
the year.
We hope you’ll join us at the NCRG Conference from September
30 to October 2, just a few days before G2E. With the 4-day or 5-day All Access
Pass, you can attend both the NCRG Conference and G2E for a lower price. For
