Empathy in Action: Human-Centred Interventions in Land-Based Casinos

21 Jan 2026
CC5.2
Safer Gaming Workshop

In physical venues, player support relies on human judgement, observation, and in-person communication. This session focuses on training frontline staff to recognise behavioural and emotional signals, use appropriate language, and intervene with empathy and confidence. Drawing on real-world scenarios, it explores how verbal tone, body language, and timing shape safer-gaming outcomes — and how in-person interventions can be delivered consistently, respectfully, and effectively.
