Gambling contributes to the growth and development of Tourism and the economy in the Gauteng Province. Gambling also stimulates the creation of job opportunities and contributes to the alleviation of poverty in the province. The gambling industry has created and sustained three types of jobs: jobs in the provincial construction industry, jobs due to the on-going running of the industry and indirect jobs as a result of the multiplied spending on construction and operations.
It is inevitable that the legislation of gambling will, despite rigorous regulation, result in some members of the gambling public development problem gambling. To address this phenomenon the Board continues its responsible gambling program to prevent and mitigate the risk and dangers associated with gambling activities.
