Problem gambling kiosk

by Kim Calloway - Power 104 - CASTANET.

Kelowna's Lake City Casino now contains a staffed kiosk that offers patrons information about responsible gambling. There's basic information on how the slots and table games work, but Walt Krahn of the Responsible Gaming Partnership, says the staff also have answers to questions about problem gambling. Krahn says it's an effort to be pro-active, and to make patrons more knowledgeable about both the fun and the pitfalls of casino gaming. Kelowna's casino is the first one outside the Lower Mainland to get one of these staffed information counters. A similar un-staffed display is also featured at Chances Gaming Centre on Springfield.
