b'WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?Closing Message from Mark Vander Linden,MGC Director of Research and Responsible GamingThe Massachusetts Legislature laid out a vision for casino gaming that would bring jobs and the greatest possible economic benefit to the commonwealth. They understood that in order to achieve this vision there must also be a plan to mitigate the negative consequences, because for every person who is harmed by gambling, the benefits begin to erode. As outlined in this report, GameSense has quickly become an effective frontline response, working both inside the casino and out in the community to meet this challenge and advance the MGCs objectives of providing accurate and balanced information to promote positive play; providing patrons experiencing gambling-related harm with timely and appropriate information; and creating a shared understanding of responsible gaming among individuals, communities, the gaming industry, and government.Im thrilled by the early success of this program, but we remain committed to finding new and innovative ways to meet the needs of the commonwealth. As gambling changes, we will continue to adapt our strategies while remaining true to core objectives.22WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?'
