On April 14, the Arizona Department of Gaming launched a new on-demand responsible gambling initiative to offer free self-paced training to residents and those currently working within the industry.

The training is organized across three self-paced phases, covering the fundamentals of the risks associated with gambling, how problem gambling differs from safe play and connecting with others to address the issue.

Those taking part in the initiative will also be able to go through optional continued learning quizzes at the conclusion of each phase.
