Congratulations, upon graduation, you have been appointed as the gaming manager at one of the venues you chose to analyse in the first assessment. After a week in this role, you notice certain venue practices that may breach the relevant state regulations related to responsible gaming. On one occasion, you have seen loan sharks being welcomed by the venue's gaming staff. These loan sharks (i.e., money lenders who charge extremely high or even illegal interest rates) regularly target people with gambling addiction by harassing those who cannot pay up to engage in theft to settle their debts. On another occasion, you have seen gaming patrons being encouraged by the gaming staff to earn more points via gambling to obtain a higher membership reward tier. You also saw some floor gaming staff serving free alcohol to high-roller gamblers. What's more, you have read many negative commentaries on the venue's social media page from family and friends of the gaming patrons. They are outraged with the venue's approach to addressing the rising concern of problem gambling. In response, you then enquire with gaming staff about the reasons behind such practices and learn that one of the venue's internal rewards policies offers incentives to gaming staff if they were to achieve a certain spend on poker machines at the end of each night. Last month, the gaming supervisor, Susan, was awarded an all-inclusive trip to Whitsundays as the direct result of achieving the highest revenue intake in the history of the venue's business operations.
