Tribal Affiliation

OAPCG provides training for Oklahoma Tribal Casinos which includes "Signs & Symptoms of the Problem Gambler" and "Customer Service: Being a Responsible Gaming Advocate."

OAPCG helps Oklahoma Tribes to meet state compact requirements by providing casino employee training. Since 70% of helpline callers say they get the number from the casino, employee orientation increases the calls to the helpline which directly accounts for increased numbers of gamblers and their family members getting treatment.

OAPCG also helps tribes by receiving and updating material, training documents, brochures and forms that address "Responsible Gaming," "The Problem Gambler," or "Self-Exclusion" procedures and forms.
