9th Annual NCRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction

November 16-18, 2008

Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada

New trends in science and society are raising provocative questions about gambling addiction. Will the definition of “pathological gambling” change in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders?  Does the Internet pose a threat or offer solutions for gambling responsibly? How can we meet the need for culturally relevant responsible gaming programs in an ethnically diverse society and in new gaming markets? How are drug treatments transforming the treatment of gambling and alcohol problems? How should gaming operators address the mental health needs of their employees? Are government-sponsored programs on gambling disorders using tax dollars wisely? How close are we to establishing a treatment standard for gambling addiction?

The 9th Annual NCRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction will be an opportunity to debate these questions with attendees from around the world and from sectors ranging from health care to the gaming industry.  Presentations will feature the latest in scientific research on gambling disorders and innovative ideas for prevention, treatment and responsible gaming.
