Fancy a little poker? Online or offline? Or how about an esports match? All of the above?

This week, we really can have it all, thanks to MGM Resorts hits milestone with GameSense
GameSense, MGM Resorts International's responsible gambling program, has initiated more than 160,000 conversations about problem gambling since its implementation late last year. The program's main focus is to inform guests via person-to-person talks with trained staff, but educational materials are also available through touchscreens. Emphasis is also placed on how to have fun while staying within your gambling limits.

Through this, MGM hopes to make the discussion of problem gambling a mainstream one.
