This year marks the 15th anniversary of Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG)’s responsible gaming promotion program. The company has collaborated with various social service organizations to host diverse activities under the theme of “mental health”.
With GEG being Macau’s first integrated resort operator to establish a dedicated Responsible Gaming Team, the activities are aimed at promoting responsible gaming to the company’s team members and the community.
Among the many initiatives are Youth Volunteers Association of Macao (AJVM)’s month-long “GEG Presents – Responsible Gaming Mental Health Online” promotional campaign which GEG has recently title-sponsored, in which infographics were shared on social media platforms for the public to better understand different ways of improving physical and mental wellness and to learn about stress and emotional management with a positive attitude. The online event included quizzes and lucky draws where winners received GEG-sponsored prizes, drawing nearly 1,000 participants.
Ms. Fion Lao, Unit in Charge of AJVM, said, “We wish to thank GEG for their trust and tremendous support on jointly launching this online campaign that aims to remind the public of maintaining a peaceful mind when coping with stress and emotions, as well as the need to seek appropriate support when necessary, bringing positive impact to the community.”
Adding to its range of initiatives, GEG has also organized a responsible gaming roadshow in its back-of-house areas in collaboration with the Macao Gaming Industry Employees Home (MGIEH) to consolidate team members’ related legal knowledge, and another Responsible Gaming Roadshow with MGIEH called “Understand More About Casino Entry Law” during which key information and regulations on the Macau SAR Government’s responsible gaming policies were promoted to 1,200 team members via information displays and interactive games.
Other initiatives held between March and May this year included the “Tips for Healthy Lifestyle” on-site activity, “Responsible Gaming Parent-child Stone Painting Workshop” and the “Responsible Gaming Sandplay Experience Workshop” – co-organized with MGIEH and the Chinese Society for Sandplay Therapy to promote responsible gaming and mental health awareness via sandplay.
