Stephen Martino, SVP Chief Compliance Officer, MGM Resorts, added: “The landscape of the gaming industry has evolved dramatically in recent years with the broad legalization of online gambling and sports betting. Collaboration among operators and stakeholders is essential to ensure that responsible gaming remains a top priority.
“These efforts are vital to giving guests, customers, employees, and companies the tools and information needed for a safe and enjoyable experience.”
