Axes Wednesday announced a donation to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, to accelerate artificial intelligence research about responsible gaming.
“We are thrilled to have Axe’s support in advancing our responsible gambling research into quantitative artificial intelligence applications,” said UNLV International Gaming Institute Director of Research Brett Abarbanel in a statement. “Axe’s commitment to mitigating gambling harms aligns with our own goals of employing the most advanced methodologies to understand, predict and prevent the potential harm associated with gambling. We are grateful to Axes for their dedication to responsible gambling and their contribution to UNLV research.”
Axes is a cloud information management platform that licenses actionable intelligence and applications to global gaming and amusement industries. Based in Quebec, Canada, the company’s U.S. office is in Las Vegas.
“The Axes vision and mission is to make our land-based industry safer, more profitable and more fun,” said Axes President and CEO Earle G. Hall. “The eradication of money laundering and addictive gambling are at the heart of who we are as a company. The UNLV research in quantitative prediction is centric to what we believe to be as essential to eliminating the finite bad so that we can all focus on the infinite possibilities with deep, rich data.”
