Integrated resort (IR) operator MGM said in a statement earlier this week that it has been promoting responsible gaming (RG) through various initiatives and has recently unveiled its “MGM Financial Education School Tour 2024 – Hero of Egg Waffle”.
The tour, the statement said, aims to convey positive messages such as the prevention of problem gaming and financial awareness to students.
The statement quoted MGM Gaming Operations & Strategic Marketing Executive Vice President Tian Han as saying: “We launched the ‘MGM Financial Education School Tour’ in 2023, presenting a musical drama every year addressing current social issues such as blind box purchases and online game recharging, helping students develop a proper concept of money and values in a fresh and fun way.
“The school tour visits 20 local primary and secondary schools, helping promote it to more than 3,000 students in every academic year”, he added.
The statement noted that the company has also been conveying RG information to university students and has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with City University of Macau (CityU) to inaugurate the “Responsible Gaming Project on Campus”.
Through the partnership, MGM will host on-campus RG training and lectures, with students who complete the training able to act as RG ambassadors in the company’s RG promotional events.
The IR has also recently launched the “Photo Exhibition of Gaming Industry and Responsible Gaming Promotions in Macau - MGM Special Session”, which featured three topics – “History of Gaming Industry Development”, “History of Responsible Gaming”, and “Introduction to MGM’s Responsible Gaming Initiatives”, according to the statement.
Moreover, the company recently held the “Responsible Gaming City Orienteering Competition” with the Macao New Chinese Youth Association, which had 30 participating teams.
