The 26th annual AGEM & AGA Golf Classic, presented by JCM Global, will be April 30 at the Rio Secco Golf Club in Las Vegas.

A fundraiser for the International Center for Responsible Gaming, the tournament has raised more than $2.8 million to support ICRG’s research.

“The AGEM & AGA Golf Classic is more than just a tournament — it is a testament to the gaming industry’s dedication to responsible gaming research,” ICRG President Art Paikowsky said in a statement. “The funds from this event directly support ICRG’s mission to advance groundbreaking studies that shape the future of gambling addiction prevention and treatment. We are incredibly grateful to JCM Global for the professional team that manages the event, as well as to our industry partners for their continued generosity. We anticipate another impactful event on April 30.”

Located in the Black Mountains of Nevada, Rio Secco is a par-72 Rees Jones-designed golf course.

The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers and the American Gaming Association are title sponsors, and JCM Global repeats as presenting sponsor. GGB Magazine is the media sponsor.

“At JCM Global, it’s our honor to present this philanthropic event,” said JCM Senior Vice President – Sales, Marketing and Operations Dave Kubajak. “The AGEM & AGA Golf Classic unites the gaming industry with competitors standing side by side to support the ICRG and their important work. We invite the industry to join us April 30 at Rio Secco.”

Registration is open, and sponsorship and player opportunities are available at golf.jcmglobal.com on a first-come, first-served basis.
