MGM China has rolled out a new “MGM Responsible Gaming Employee Care Program”, aiming to provide its team members with a more extensive, sustainable and efficient platform for responsible gaming (RG) promotion through diversified activities such as roadshows, pop-up interactive games, online quiz games, and advanced training and courses on gambling-related knowledge.
Announcing details on Tuesday, MGM said the program is designed to enhance employees’ awareness in the field, allowing them to contribute to the establishment of a balanced, stable, and sustainable society.
Organized by MGM, the program is advised by the Social Welfare Bureau (IAS) of Macao SAR, Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) of Macao SAR, University of Macau (UM) and the Macao Polytechnic University (MPU), and is co-organized by the Macao Federation of Trade Unions (FAOM), Macao New Chinese Youth Association, Sheng Kung Hui Macau Social Services Coordination Office, Macao Gaming Industry Employees Home, and the Youth Volunteers Association of Macao.
At an opening ceremony held at MGM Cotai’s back-of-house area and attended by a strong lineup of dignitaries, MGM’s Executive Vice President of Gaming Operations & Strategic Marketing, Tian Han, said the program is designed to go hand-in-hand with the “MGM RG Community Engagement Scheme” that was launched last year. Together, the two programs will initiate an “internal and external dual-track” approach which will not only promote social advocacy but also strengthen the professional skills of employees,” he explained.
“We aspire to leverage diverse and innovative approaches in this new program to reinforce our team members’ understanding and execution on RG while building a solid foundation for the long-term stability and sustainable development of society,” the company said.
“Moving forward, MGM will continue to collaborate with all sectors to further promote RG-related information by upholding Macau’s policies, in a bid to foster a healthy and harmonious society.”
