It has been a policy over recent years for casinos in America as well as around the world to liaise with gambling addiction programs in the hope of helping those who admit to their problem. A new self exclusion program has been launched so that any gamblers who admit that they do have a gambling problem can elect to be barred from entry to their local casinos. To start the process they must complete a form and provide a picture that will then be distributed to the security staff who will in turn stop them from accessing the casino in the future. The gambler could effectively then be charged with trespassing if they should gain access to the casino.
It came as quite a shock when the Golden Eagle Casino near Horton Kansas has put a stop to is exclusion program. The casino has made the decision to call time on the exclusion program as they are finding it too hard to process. The program has been stopped as the casino is having problems identifying determined gamblers and they do not want to be responsible for failing to stop them.
The Golden Eagle Casino has been clear that in no way it wants to encourage gamblers with a problem to come back to the casino. However, they have advised all people who are currently registered with the program, that they will no longer be held responsible for stopping them entering their casino. The Kansas Coalition on Problem Gambling is determined to stop any other casinos from following Golden Eagle Casino’s example and is working with the casino to bring them back under the self exclusion program. A few raised voices have been heard because of the letters which were sent to the self excluded gamblers, as many are of the opinion that this was open encouragement to these ex-gamblers to come back to the casino.
