Bay State casinos urge law makers to protect gambling addicts

02/15/2010

Chatsworth gambling addiction help in Montreal urges Massachusetts state lawmakers to promote responsible gambling and aide compulsive gamblers.

Boston, MA(news)–The Boston Herald reports the inevitable expansion of gaming in the state of Massachusetts has prompted casino operators, racetrack owners, and non-profits to report to lawmakers on Beacon Hill on February 9 and ask for legal measures to protect compulsive gamblers from their addictive behaviors.  The Massachusetts Partnership for Responsible Gambling, who touts industry gaming leaders like Mohegan Sun and Raynham Park as members, are participating in the legal gaming initiative.

The Massachusetts Council on Compulsive Gambling maintains their stance that with more gambling venues and facilities for Bay State residents and visitors, the need for regulations that promote responsible gambling and gambling addiction prevention and treatment also increases. Most states that offer gambling and gaming mandate certain requirements like the gambling addiction help-line telephone number on betting slips in Maine. State lawmakers in Michigan require licensed casino operators to donate to a compulsive gambling prevention fund in the sum of $2 million. The controversy surrounding legalized gambling providing financial windfalls for states that offer gaming remains a highly contested issue. The one fact that does remain is that compulsive gambling and gaming are an ever growing addiction.
