The Association of Gaming Equipment Manufacturers has appointed Connie Jones as director of responsible gaming.
A 20-year veteran of the gaming industry, Jones previously served as director of responsible gaming for IGT and has been dedicated exclusively to responsible gaming for the past 14 years.
In her new role, she will create the AGEM Responsible Gaming Policy and Plan, provide the global membership with quarterly reports on responsible gaming technologies and their business implications and represent AGEM with a variety of organisations and at industry events, conferences and trade shows.
“Appointing Connie to the position of director of responsible gaming is a natural extension of our organisation’s efforts and a reflection of the growing influence of AGEM,” said Thomas Jingoli, president of AGEM.
“She is widely considered the pre-eminent expert from the supplier side on problem gambling issues and will continue to be at the forefront of an issue our industry is committed to addressing in a smart and thoughtful way.”
“AGEM has long been committed to responsible gaming organisations and issues and I am pleased and honoured to join AGEM and represent our 128 member companies from 19 different countries,” Jones said. “It’s important that the suppliers participate in the process to address problem gambling issues and contribute to the improvement of research, education and treatment options. Furthermore, expansion of interactive gaming is providing new challenges for gaming manufacturers that I can assist with in my new position.”
