Responsible Gaming
Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming
At Hoosier Park, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that casino gaming serves as an entertainment alternative for responsible adults. We take a highly proactive approach to the identification and prevention of problem and underage gambling, and give special attention to all associated programs.
We have adapted the extensive internal policies and programs dealing with problem and underage gambling from the Indiana Gaming Commission, and are actively enforcing these programs to raise employee awareness regularly with events such as seminars for supervisors conducted by nationally recognized experts in this field. Responsible gaming awareness information is included in our employee handbook and is a key component in the orientation program required of each new employee.
As required by Indiana rules, we display the Indiana Division of Mental Health’s toll-free number at our casino entrances and display posters promoting responsible gaming throughout the casino and other public areas of our facility. Beyond those requirements, we have developed printed materials that will provide information for those seeking assistance. These brochures are available at many locations on our property and may be obtained from employees in the casino. We voluntarily include the Indiana Division of Mental Health toll-free number and other telephone help lines in many advertising and marketing materials.
We have implemented the Indiana statewide voluntary self-exclusion program. This program is administered by the Indiana Gaming Commission and enables individuals who feel they may have a gambling disorder to exclude themselves from gambling at Indiana riverboats and race track casinos. Participants sign a statement banning them from the casino area of our facility and other Indiana casino facilities. Subsequently, any attempts made by these individuals to enter may result in their arrest for trespassing.
We are active members of the Indiana Council on Problem Gambling. This council has programs in place for referral of patrons and employees who request assistance. Additionally, we have developed relationships with local agencies offering programs designed to treat gambling disorders.
