The Soloviev Group and Mohegan, developers of the proposed Freedom Plaza entertainment and gaming venue in NYC, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the New York City Council on Problem Gambling (NYCPG).

The initiative will establish a Problem Gambling Resource Center (PRGC) on-site to promote responsible gambling, but primarily, to support and advise users impacted by problem gambling activity.

A press release detailed the full plans for the dedicated space, modelled on Ontario’s PlaySmart Centres at Mohegan’s Niagara casinos, which will be aligned with NYCPG standards. It will offer a private space within the casino featuring both self-serve and full-serve options.
