On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, Canadian Gaming Association president/CEO Paul Burns returned to the podcast.
Burns joined host Steve McAllister from Las Vegas, where he attended last week’s International Conference on Gambling and Risk Taking and joined Dr. Mary Donohue to talk about The Power of Protective Pause: Emotional Regulation in Gambling Environments. The CGA’s head honcho provided his takeaways from the 19th annual conference.
Burns and McAllister also shared their thoughts and layers from the recent SBC Summit Canada, including:
The road to regulation in Alberta some nine weeks before the western Canada province joins Ontario to offer a competitive gambling industry;
The remarks by Stan Cho, Ontario’s Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, at the conference;
The results of the AGCO-commissioned study into channelization;
A reckoning from panelists and people with whom we spoke at the summit that the time has come to take further action when it comes to player protection, responsible gaming communication and advertising;
A need for elected officials and others to be better when it comes to understanding the separation between regulated and unregulated gaming.
Burns’s response to iGaming Ontario’s launch of its centralized self-exclusion program.
