In a groundbreaking move towards promoting responsible gambling practices in the gaming industry, MGM Resorts International has announced the renewal of their collaboration with the American Gaming Association (AGA) to continue their efforts in upholding the highest standards of integrity and player protection.
The partnership between MGM Resorts and AGA dates back to 2019, when they first joined forces to advocate for responsible gambling and enhance consumer protections. Since then, the two organizations have worked tirelessly to establish new guidelines and best practices to safeguard the well-being of players and ensure a fair and transparent gaming environment.
MGM Resorts, one of the world’s leading hospitality and entertainment companies, operates some of the most iconic casino resorts in the United States, including the Bellagio in Las Vegas and the Borgata in Atlantic City. With a strong commitment to promoting responsible gambling, MGM has taken proactive measures to implement tools and resources to help customers make informed decisions about their gaming activities.
As part of their collaboration with AGA, MGM Resorts has pledged to continue their support for the association’s comprehensive set of responsible gambling principles, which include promoting responsible advertising practices, implementing cutting-edge technology to detect and prevent problem gambling behaviors, and providing training and resources for employees to identify and assist individuals in need of help.
In a statement, MGM Resorts’ Chief Operating Officer, Bill Hornbuckle, emphasized the company’s unwavering commitment to responsible gambling, stating, “We are proud to renew our partnership with the AGA and continue our efforts to promote responsible gaming practices across our properties. As a leader in the gaming industry, it is our responsibility to prioritize the well-being of our customers and ensure that they have access to the resources and support they need to enjoy gaming responsibly.”
AGA President and CEO, Bill Miller, echoed Hornbuckle’s sentiments, praising MGM Resorts for their dedication to promoting responsible gambling and setting a positive example for the industry as a whole. Miller stated, “MGM Resorts has been a steadfast champion of responsible gaming practices, and we are pleased to continue our collaboration with them to advance our shared goal of creating a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all players.”
The renewal of the partnership between MGM Resorts and AGA comes at a critical time for the gaming industry, as increased scrutiny and regulatory oversight have placed a spotlight on the importance of responsible gambling practices. By working together to uphold the highest standards of integrity and player protection, MGM Resorts and AGA are setting a commendable example for other industry leaders to follow, and demonstrating their commitment to ensuring that gaming remains a fun and safe form of entertainment for all players.
