AGEM December 2022 Recap l Te December monthly meeting was held on December 13 and had a full agenda with AGEM hosting two in-person presentations / discussions. Te first consisted of Nevada Gaming Control Board (GCB) representatives, including Chair, Brittnie Watkins, Technology Division Chief, Jim Barbee, and Technology Division Deputy Chief, Jeremy Eberwein, with Board Member, Philip Katsaros, calling in. Chief Barbee gave an overview of recent activity that affected AGEM members, namely updates to gaming device technical standards, which are currently going through internal review processes at the Board. Te group also reiterated that the GCB wishes to communicate more closely with AGEM and AGEM Members in the supplier sector to understand the ‘next big thing’ and innovation being brought into the gaming market. Te discussion was lively and engaged, with AGEM and GCB representatives noting a desire to gather in-person more frequently to discuss a whole range of topics that will benefit the industry and its ongoing working relationships.
l Also presenting at the December meeting was Executive Director, Stephanie Goodman, of the Dr Robert Hunter Problem Gambling Center (PGC). She started off by thanking AGEM for its continued support, which helps the Center to carry on its much-needed work, noting that AGEM’s support this year helped recruit and retain staff for the Center, which struggles to compete with the private sector. She also spoke about some of the more recent initiatives that have allowed outpatient treatment since the pandemic. Tese programmes have been highly effective for patients that attend at least twice a week, and once through the programme they have a relapse prevention success rate of 92 per cent. Ms. Goodman also noted that the Center is currently working upon a video, which can be provided to industry operators and suppliers, and shown in their venues to reach a wider audience, detailing important messages about where to find help.

P20 WIRE / PULSE / INSIGHT / REPORTS
l AGEM Executive Director Daron Dorsey along with AGEM Director of Responsible Gaming, Connie Jones, recently attended and sat on panels at the National Conference of Legislators from Gaming States (NCLGS) Winter Meeting, held at Resorts World Las Vegas. AGEM were one of the sponsors of this important event in which portions of the agenda focused on the ongoing problem of illegal and unregulated gaming within the United States and the derogatory impacts these games continue to inflict on both the public and industry stakeholders. Te event also highlighted responsible gaming initiatives and gathered input from multiple, knowledgeable stakeholders across a range of disciplines related to responsible and problem gaming sessions. NCLGS and its draft resolution on responsible gaming is close to completion, and the event provided a final opportunity to incorporate feedback from those in attendance on a blueprint that can assist legislators across the US to consider and adopt best practices in this important discipline. A final vote on the Resolution will come before the NCLGS membership in summer 2023.
