Know what it means to...

gamble responsibly...

The province's new responsible gaming strategy is focused on protecting the health and well-being of Nova Scotians and improving the regulation of gaming.

The plan includes measures to increase the focus on research into problem gambling, a continued moratorium on new VLTs, and make the My-Play system mandatory to help players better monitor and make informed choices about their play.

The strategy is based on research into best practices in other jurisdictions, input from stakeholders and the public, and a review of results from the previous gaming strategy released in 2005.

The Strategy is based on a number of other measures including:

• reaffirming that Nova Scotia will not expand into internet gambling such as online casino games
• declining to endorse a proposal to develop a racino in the province
• ongoing review of advertising standards to ensure they are consistent with best practices for social responsibility
• making the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation a division within the Department of Communities, Culture and Heritage
• integrating Gaming Awareness Nova Scotia with the Nova Scotia Health Research Foundation to create a centre of excellence on problem gambling research

A deputy ministers' advisory committee will oversee the implementation of the Strategy's elements across government.
