Often times, players need to put things into perspective when it comes to gambling and see matters from a different point of view. Many of them fail to grasp the true magnitude of their gambling relationship. Some of them need to compare the time they spend at a casino venue with another player, in order to realize they might have an issue.
British Columbia Lottery Corporation aims to create a safe space without judgment, where players could talk about their feelings regarding gaming. This would make it easier for them to evaluate the state of their relationship, possibly even stop it from becoming a toxic one. Players hailing from Salmon Arm and neighboring communities are projected to seek advice from the two individuals that would be present on the premises of the casino venue.
Those are Melodie Greco and Jamie Ferguson. The two ladies are eager to meet the first casino patrons seeking support in regards to their gaming habits. Contacting a problem gambling program might seem threatening for many individuals, struggling with addictive behavior. On the other hand, visiting the casino and talking to a friendly person might be just what the doctor ordered.
