Inside Asian Gaming

IAG AUG 2019年8月 亞博匯 75 go, so it will be six in the last three years. OG: How would you describe the current proclivity of problem gambling in Macau? DF: It has improved a lot. I would like to say it meets our expectation and we are satisfied now. The first prevalence study before Sands opening the first IR, Sands Macao, was conducted in 2003. At that time 1.8% were classified as pathological gamblers and another 2.6% as problem gamblers, so altogether around 4.4% of the population suffered from a gambling disorder. The most updated figures are from 2016 – for 2019 we are still wrapping up the final report – and altogether are around 2.5%. So I would like to say I’m satisfied but once again, because of accessibility, with more and more casinos or IRs opening, we need to keep up our effort, our momentum. OG: Is there any such thing as a typical problem gambler? DF: We see some statistical differences between several groups. There will be a high chance for the casino gambler and the soccer betting gambler to become addicted to gambling rather than other forms such as a mahjong and social gambling such as the Macau Jockey Club. It’s very difficult for them There will be a high chance for the casino gambler and the soccer betting gambler to become addicted to gambling rather than other forms. 那些進入娛樂場的玩家以及足球投注者變成問題賭徒的可能 性其實更高。 馮 家超教授是澳門在推廣負責任博彩上的學術 領袖。他肩負了澳門特區政府超過40個與博 彩及旅遊有關的研究。 除了作為博彩研究所的所長外,他還從2017 年開始擔任澳門經濟發展委員會的顧問,還 於2014年起成為澳門人才發展委員會的委員,並自2015年就是澳 門統計諮詢委員會的成員之一(澳門大學代表)。 此外,他更是澳門第六屆立法會的議員。在與《亞博匯》的訪談 中,馮教授就分享了在他推廣負責任博彩的同時,澳門在這方面的 進步,以及那些找出及協助受賭博問題困擾人士的最新舉動。 Oscar Guijarro: 你剛啟動了「負責任博彩推廣2019」。請問可以 跟我們分享一下今年的負責任博彩(RG)推廣有那些內容? 馮家超: 這是我們首次邀請所有持份者到同一個平台,展示他們 在未來一年內可以做甚麼。在過去這些年中,作為主辦機構,我們 只會對外宣佈我們將會做甚麼,所以這是首次所有持份者——包 括六間博企及三間非政府組織的代表——展示他們在未來一年將 會有那些行動。 由於這是我首次看到不同持份者的整體計劃,我就可以作出 一些對比,並看得出在以前,所有持份者都只把焦點放在他們的 內部訓練及內部推廣上。但這次很多的措施都針對客人、員工、家 庭以及社區。而這些負責任博彩推廣措施,亦是頗具創意及多元 的。 從前的推廣都是比較被動,想傳遞的都是「甚麼是負責任博 彩」。今年我們看到一些互動遊戲以及一些比賽,所以,這也變得 更有創意更有趣。 特稿
