What is the Responsible Gaming Ambassadors Program?
We believe that the IGI's responsible gaming training programs represent a global "best in class" product, and we take tremendous pride in providing customized responsible gaming education programs that reflect both cutting-edge research and real-world practice. IGI is not only a global leader in research, having worked extensively on RG issues on six continents and more than 30 countries, but also has hospitality and gaming management professors from the number one-ranked William F. Harrah College of Hospitality鈥攅mphasizing the incorporation of customer service best practices. Most importantly, these programs are taught directly by the experts who deliver international keynotes in the problem gambling field, and not via a train-the-trainer approach that often results in a watered-down experience. In sum, IGI bridges the scientific and the practical, the academic and the applied, and the human sciences and the business sciences, in a way that no other global entity can.
What follows are a variety of course options that can be included in a customized responsible gaming education program, though it is important to note that programs can be fully customized to meet a company鈥檚 needs and interests.
Sample Course Offerings
Depending on your organization's needs, sample course offerings may include a look into responsible gaming global case studies, insights into emerging issues in problem gambling, and/or on-site field trips to various treatment facilities.
