On Friday, Alberta’s second on-site responsible gambling information centre opened at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino in Calgary. The Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission, in partnership with the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, is behind the two year $300,000 pilot projects. The centres are based on similar programs in other provinces and provide information about gambling responsibly, costs involved, and the voluntary self-exclusion program.
