Notas do Editor

  1. Industry wide, at risk gambling rate are higher among gaming workers  is this true for British Columbia  if so, how much higher are the gambling rates? What actions can be taken?  Specifically relating to Policy, Relationship Management, education & programming Why does this matter to BCLC?  By taking better care of gaming workers, we are taking better care of our players, which in turn is better for the sustainability of our business.
  2. BCLC is committed to reducing gambling related harm amongst our players and amongst those who work in the industry. It’s important that the right information, help and services are in place for those who need them. Research shows there are a number of factors that heighten certain risks of gaming workers developing gambling disorders To that end, BCLC, through Ipsos, conducted a Gaming Worker Survey in 2016. The results of our survey provide us an opportunity to enhance and tailor our resources for gaming facility workers.
  3. Gambling Policies Employees at gaming facilities are not allowed to gamble within their own facility, or at any facility managed by their service provider Gaming workers are eligible to join BCLC’s Encore Rewards club with limited program membership– not eligible for membership level upgrades Training Appropriate Response Training, commonly called ART, is a mandatory BCLC training program for all “front of house” gaming workers across British Columbia. It was created to enhance responsible gambling-related knowledge, awareness and skills for all gaming personnel, in order to enable employees to respond appropriately to guests within BC gaming facilities. ART program is comprised of two distinct levels: ART Level 1 is an online course and is intended for all front line gaming workers. ART Level 2 is a four-hour in-person training sessions facilitated by BCLC’s Regional Team Leaders and a GameSense Advisor, if available More than 15,000 gaming workers have completed ART Level 1 and / or Level 2 Regular curriculum updates based on jurisdictional best practices and RG Check recommendations GameSense Advisors GameSense Advisors, commonly called GSAs, are staff at casinos who provide information on responsible play and resources for problem gambling to patrons and staff.
  4. Staff Awareness Programs GameSense Advisors regularly set up staff educational activities in / adjacent to staff rooms (e.g. GameSense 101, Myths 101) GameSense Excellence Awards Enable gaming employees to nominate their peers who to demonstrate responsible gambling into daily operations.
  5. Being at higher-risk for problem gambling may stem from factors related to the workplace environment including: Close interaction with Gamblers Distorted views of winning Frequent Exposure to Gambling Normalizes gambling / heavy gambling Encouragement to Gamble from Work Colleagues General acceptance of gambling
  6. Frequent Exposure to Gambling Marketing and Promotions May act as a trigger and its easy to get caught up in the excitement of promotions Reluctance to Expose Own Gambling Problems and Seek Help Fear of job loss Perceived intolerance in the industry
  7. To date, the majority of responsible gambling efforts have been focused on the customer We realized it is equally important to turn our attention to gaming workers. The benefits of doing so would help to maintain a healthy and engaged workforce, improve service delivery, and in turn improve player wellbeing.
  8. Survey Objectives Understand gambling behaviours of BC gaming workers Determine incidence of at risk and not at risk behaviours Understand the impacts of workplace influences Measure awareness, attitudes and usage of RG and PG resources IRB Review Process To ensure confidence and protection of the employees, the research was reviewed by an independent ethics review (Institutional Review Board - IRB) Survey Methodology Online survey Survey invitations sent by email with unique survey link to 1300 of the approximately 7500 gaming workers A total of 547 surveys were completed online between May 4th and June 12th, 2016 (42% response rate)
  9. One major challenge we encountered was how we were going to reach frontline staff members, as many of them do not have corporate email addresses. In addition, gaming facility workers in BC are not employees of BCLC, but are employees of our service providers. We needed a way to send them the link to the survey, while capturing the appropriate consent GameSense Advisors (GSA’s) set up a table adjacent to or in staff rooms at Casino’s and CGC’s. Opportunity to engage with employees and talk to them about the gaming workers survey At a few remote sites, we even set up a space for employees who may not have computer access at home to complete the survey on site using an iPad – this was encouraged by the site management as an added opportunity to ensure engagement with the survey 59% of the surveys were completed via this open-link method Over 50% of those who completed the survey were front line staff NOW THE RESULTS
  10. Our research indicates that 92% of gaming workers gambled in the past year. In comparison, 72.5% of the general adult population participated in gambling. Top three gambling activities for gaming workers were: Retail lottery purchase (79%) Retail Scratch & Win purchase (66%) Gaming facility slot machine play (49%) Furthermore: 7.9% of the adult population is estimated to be at low-risk for problem (in comparison to 14% of Gaming workers surveyed) 3.3% estimated at moderate and High risk (in comparison to 14% of Gaming workers surveyed) participated in gambling. *Classified using the Canadian Problem Gambling Index
  11. Gaming workers provided a variety of reasons why the gambled Responses were similar across the three categories of gambler: non-problem, low risk and moderate / high risk
  12. We asked survey respondents how much they agreed with the statement “I am a responsible gambler”
  13. We asked survey respondents about their responsible gambling behaviors Findings indicate that moderate / high risk gaming workers are less likely to engage in responsible gambling behaviors
  14. For example, if we look at the first two rows: 78% of moderate / high risk gamblers RARELY set aside gambling winnings ---- compared to 34% of non-problem gamblers 41% of moderate / high risk gamblers RARELY set a limit to how much they spend----- compared to 7% of non-problem gamblers
  15. Individuals in the moderate and high risk category had previous exposure to gambling before working in the industry For example, they were significantly more likely to be familiar with the games Were significantly more likely to be a frequent gambler
  16. Individuals classified in the moderate and high risk categories reported the highest increases in gambling since starting work in the industry For example, 32% of moderate / high risk gamblers said their gambling increased since working in the industry Overall, the frequency of gambling changed since working in the industry for all workers. However, the direction and magnitude of change varies by segment *Doesn’t add up to 100%- 4th category = “Don’t know/refused”
  17. We asked survey respondents about work place factors that influence gambling behavior The findings indicate that workplace factors that may deter from gambling seem to have lower impact on moderate and high-risk gaming workers.
  18. For example if we look at the first row 64% of non-problem gamblers agreed that they want to avoid spending more time involved with gambling after work -------compared to 32% of moderate / high risk gamblers
  19. Continuing to look at the factors that influence gambling behaviors: We can see that workplace factors that may encourage gambling seem to have higher impact on moderate and high-risk gaming workers
  20. For example if we look at the first two rows: 20% of moderate / high risk gamblers said that marketing at work tempts them to gamble----- compared to only 4% of non-problem gamblers Also, 23% of moderate / high risk gamblers said that gambling relieves stress from their job-------- compared to 2% of non problem gamblers.
  21. Given the research findings, BCLC has introduced additional responsible gambling measures. These enhancements are part of BCLC’s ongoing, proactive strategy to identify and support special populations that may be at higher risk of developing problem gambling behaviours.
  22. BCLC is revising ART Level 1 training to include information on: Gambling participation and problem gambling behaviors among gaming workers Resources and supports available for gaming workers.
  23. BCLC is creating employee specific materials to be displayed in staff break rooms highlighting some of the heightened risks for gaming workers and available resources Resources available for employees Voluntary Self-Exclusion program Problem Gambling Hotline GSAs and GSICs Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) *Most importantly – emphasize that seeking help or assistance will not negatively impact their employment
  24. BCLC is revising the VSE policy and agreement to reinforce that self exclusion is available for employees and for individuals whose employment requires them to enter a gaming facility. Entry to gaming facilities will be granted for the purposes of employment. Security and Surveillance, and gaming employees who administer the program, may be alerted to the presence of an individual who has VSE’ed but are required to protect that individual’s privacy.
  25. BCLC and Government Policy and Enforcement Branch are working closely to enhance awareness and access to local counseling services for gaming workers BCLC is exploring the opportunity to expand the GameSense Advisor (GSA) program from casinos to include all community gaming centres
  26. Relationship with Operators: Shared the results of this research Exploring how we can continue to work together and reach gaming workers early and often Look for opportunities to leverage Orientation Onboarding Look to engage higher risk employees (based on exposure to players, type of work etc.) early and often
  27. We will conduct follow-up research in three to four years to measure the progress of reducing the proportion of gaming workers who are at risk of developing problem gambling behaviours.
  28. BCLC is committed to reducing the harm that can come from gambling amongst our players and those who work in the B.C. gambling industry. By taking better care of workers in B.C.’s gambling industry, we are taking better care of our players, which in turn is better for the sustainability of our business.
