“Responsible gaming is engrained into the fabric of what we do at IGT. From our products to our people and programs, it remains at the forefront of all decisions,” said Wendy Montgomery, IGT senior vice president, marketing, communications and sustainability.
“IGT is one of the most influential responsible gaming leaders in the gaming industry,” said Mélissa Azam, WLA senior corporate social responsibility manager. “Its decadeslong responsible gaming commitment spans the company’s products and solutions and is a key component of its corporate culture.”
An assessor studied IGT lottery operations to determine the WLA recertification, on criteria such as product and service development; remote gaming environment; and advertising and marketing communications. IGT’s eight Responsible Gaming Guidelines include working with its Responsible Gaming Advisory Group, publicly releasing its corporatewide gaming policy and launching tailored employee e-learning courses on problem gambling.
Headquartered in London, IGT also has offices in Providence.
