(Jamma) In a press release, ACADI, the association of amusement machine dealers, announces the entry into the association of HBG Gaming. “Over the years – reads the text – the cultural context relating to the gaming and entertainment sector has undergone a significant metamorphosis. There was a profound change between the nineties and two thousand. From the notorious video poker, which had fueled most of the profits managed by crime in the full Wild West of the rules, we have moved on to the era of the game with cash winnings played in a context of legality and public control. With the regulation of the sector, the State, the licensees and the trade associations have been and still are the real protagonists who have worked and are still working together in order to combat illegality, protect the players, introduce technological innovations and contribute to the growth of the employment in the country.
Associationism has always been an important tool born from the company and for the company and for this very reason, HBG Gaming has decided to combine its previous experience as a licensee with that of ACADI, in order to share the virtuous path started by the gaming sector in the current cultural context. A path that has led the concessionaires to strengthen their cultural sensitivity, embracing issues that go beyond sector regulation and which contemplate respect for the consumer, the protection of minors, the addiction that gambling can cause in pathological situations.
A Confindustria association such as ACADI can make a contribution in quantitative and qualitative terms, thanks to the contribution of ideas and energies from the various concessionaires, and give impetus to the development of these ideas, through relationships with civil society, with realities and local institutions, with the cultural and professional world.
For HBG Gaming, belonging to an association such as ACADI means taking responsibility for finding a solution, through dialogue and confrontation with the institutions, to the problems associated with illegal gaming and the serious consequences that this can generate in terms of crime, loss of revenue for the state and employment.
The challenges in the gaming sector, as in all other industrial sectors, are always open, and associations represent the most suitable tool to face them in the present and in the future, with the aim of continuous improvement of the sector that consolidates the results achieved until today and open to scenarios increasingly based on respect for the rights of consumers, businesses and workers.
