Macau casino concessionaire MGM China Holdings Ltd has partnered with local associations to promote responsible gaming and financial literacy through two large-scale community events.
They were the “Family Financial Budgeting Competition and Responsible Gaming Carnival”; and the “Responsible Gaming Carnival and Orienteering Race”.
“Drawing over 5,000 participants, these initiatives reinforce MGM’s ongoing efforts to foster a sustainable and healthier society,” stated the casino firm in a written announcement.
The “Family Financial Budgeting Competition and Responsible Gaming Carnival”, organised by MGM China and the Macau Federation of Trade Unions (FAOM), featured a parent-child financial budgeting competition, interactive game booths, and DIY workshops, as per the press release.
The activity was “designed to strengthen family communication and promote financial literacy,” encouraging families “to explore budgeting practices together in a lively and educational setting,” said MGM China. “The event also aimed to extend responsible gaming messages to younger generations and their families,” it added.
Separately, the “Responsible Gaming Carnival and Orienteering Race” was co-organised with the Macao New Chinese Youth Association, combining a community orienteering challenge with game booths and stage performances.
Themed on “responsible gaming and healthy financial management,” participants took part in an orienteering race, navigating educational checkpoints on financial literacy and responsible entertainment concepts.
MGM China said “thousands of residents” joined the latter event, “engaging in interactive experiences that promoted rational thinking, self-discipline, and proper financial habits”.
The casino operator said that, since 2023, it has collaborated with a “wide range of community partners” to promote responsible gaming and financial literacy programmes, “reaching nearly 60,000 individuals”.
“These efforts underscore the company’s unwavering commitment to the city’s long-term social sustainability,” the firm stated.
