A New York lawmaker who advocates for expanding legal gambling in the Empire State is also a leading proponent of putting state resources toward helping those who are vulnerable or prone to addiction disorders.
Sen. Joseph Addabbo, D-Queens, will be hosting a virtual problem gambling education seminar on Sept. 13 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The one-hour NY responsible gambling session is taking place in recognition of both Responsible Gambling Education Month and Recovery Month, according to a press release from the senator’s office.
Addabbo, chairman of the state Senate Commission on Racing, Gaming and Wagering, said he has a “responsibility to bring this event to the community for the public good.”
