There’s an effort in New York state to do more to prevent problem gambling. It comes out of a coalition of organizations called New York State’s Responsible Play Partnership (RPP), and it includes the New York State Gaming Commission, the New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) and the New York Council on Problem Gambling (NYCPG).
They gathered this week at del Lago Resort and Casino in Waterloo to talk about the effort.
Jim Maney is Executive Director for the Council on Problem Gambling, and he said that some casinos, like del Lago, are trying to be more proactive when they see people betting over what they likely can afford.
