MGM Resorts' Alan Feldman Elected Chairman Of The Nevada State Advisory Committee On Problem GamblingReading Time: 3 minutes

 

Problem Gambling Awareness Month underway across MGM Resorts, highlighting March Madness

 

MGM Resorts International announced that long-time executive Alan Feldman has been elected as chairman of the Nevada State Advisory Committee on Problem Gambling (ACPG), under the Department of Health and Human Services. The Committee’s mission is to support effective problem gambling prevention, education, treatment and research programs throughout the state.

Feldman is MGM Resorts’ Executive Vice President of Global Industry Affairs and oversees the planning and implementation of the MGM Resorts’ policy development on industry issues and programs with a focus on responsible gambling. In his role as chairman of the ACPG, he will assist the Committee in their mission to support effective problem gambling prevention, education, treatment, and research programs throughout the state. The ACPG also aims to improve the public health of Nevadans through a sustainable and comprehensive system of programs and services that reduce the impact of problem gambling.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be elected as the new chair of the Nevada State Advisory Committee on Problem Gambling,” Feldman said. “I am proud to serve as a representative of the state’s gaming industry, which shares the same goals for education, prevention, treatment and research on responsible gambling. I look forward to working with the ACPG on establishing a comprehensive program to achieve these goals across the state.”

“Mr. Feldman’s willingness to serve in this capacity is another example of the gaming industry’s longstanding commitment to working with all stakeholders to address this important community health issue,” said Carol O’Hare, Executive Director of the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling, and member of the ACPG.

Feldman recently spearheaded the launch of GameSense, MGM Resorts’ player-focused responsible gambling program that encourages players to adopt behaviors and attitudes that can reduce the risk of developing gambling disorders. This landmark program is now available at all of MGM Resorts’ U.S. properties. It is the first program of its kind in the industry and has already sparked more than 750,000 positive responsible gambling conversations with guests and has earned recognition from the National Council on Problem Gambling.

Additionally, Feldman serves as Chairman of the Board of the National Center for Responsible Gaming and has been a long-serving member of the Advisory Board of the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling. In 2017, he was appointed by Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to serve on the state’s Advisory Committee on Problem Gambling. Feldman is also a frequent speaker on responsible gambling at conferences, universities and media events across North America and Asia.

This appointment comes as MGM Resorts marks Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Throughout March, MGM Resorts is partnering with the National Council on Problem Gambling to help spread awareness and to educate guests on how to make informed and responsible decisions while playing — with the ultimate goal — to keep gambling fun.

MGM Resorts’ commitment and effort to integrate responsible gambling education into its entire guest model has received national recognition.

The effort is taking place as newly opened sports books prepare for an influx of guests for March Madness. Casino and race and sports book employees across all of MGM Resorts have participated in GameSense training, reinforcing how to have positive conversations with our guests about betting responsibly during March Madness and year-round.

Title pairs advanced Cashingo experience with ULTRA Link&Win enhancements

Games Global, together with its exclusive studio partner, Slingshot Studios, has released Eruption Blaze Cashingo, bolstering the popular series with a feature-rich release, where jackpots up to 5,000x chart a path to 13,283x win potential.

Set against the backdrop of a lava-spewing volcano, every cash and jackpot coin that lands is added to the mirrored Cashingo grid, with the value of all prizes paid out when a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row is completed.

Adding further variety to the action is the integrated ULTRA Link&Win feature, which can be activated by landing six or more coins. The feature begins with three respins on a 5×5 reel set, with three extra rows initially locked. Keys can unlock additional rows, expanding the reels and increasing win potential.

Special Boosters can appear during the round, including Doublers that increase the value of up to four cash prize coins and Collectors that gather all visible cash coin values at once. Persistent versions of these boosters remain active, while Extra Life coins award an extra spin once the initial respins are exhausted.

Free Spins offer a change of pace and greater depth, with a Power Stacks feature enhancing wild and coin symbols to elevate potential.

Eruption Blaze Cashingo showcases Slingshot Studios’ continued refinement of the Cashingo franchise, delivering an engaging, well-paced gameplay experience.

Richard Vermaak, Creative Director at Slingshot Studios, said: “Our goal with Eruption Blaze Cashingo was to take what players enjoy about Cashingo and give it more room to develop.

“The combination of the Cashingo and Power Stacks mechanics introduces a dynamic element to the base game, and the enhanced ULTRA Link&Win feature adds clear progression as the grid expands. We are delighted with how the experience comes together.”

David Reynolds, Director of Games Strategy & Partner Management at Games Global, added:Eruption Blaze Cashingo is a strong addition to our portfolio and a great evolution of the Cashingo concept. Cash and jackpot coins open up new ways for the game to build, while the updates to the ULTRA Link&Win feature bring more variety to each round.

“Slingshot Studios has continued to grow the series in a way that feels natural and engaging.”

13 gambling company executives in appeal against ATG’s proposal to raise gambling tax in Sweden

Published

on

BOS – The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling – is today submitting a letter to the government. The letter is signed by 13 gambling company executives and BOS’s secretary general. In the letter, the signatories urge the government not to support the gambling company ATG in their proposal to raise the general gambling tax in favour of a reduction in the tax on horse racing.

As a main argument, the signatories highlight the fact that the level of the gambling tax affects the proportion of consumers who choose to gamble on the legal licensed gambling market, and that too many consumers are already opting out of the safety of the licensed market with its extensive consumer protection.

“Horse betting has a channelisation rate of between 98-99 percent. Online casino, according to the most optimistic estimates, has a channelisation rate of between 72-82 percent. The higher the tax, the greater the risk that the consumer will choose unlicensed gambling, where neither gambling tax nor consumer protection exists. To then lower the gambling tax for horse betting, which already has a very strong channelisation, and raise it for online casino, which has a very weak channelisation, would be completely incomprehensible. At least for those who prioritize consumer protection,” says BOS Secretary General Gustaf Hoffstedt.
