Delegates at the Florida Gaming Summit next month are scheduled to discuss the subject of responsible gambling.

Gambling experts will look into the effect gambling can have on society, community and citizens.

Charles Anderer, group publisher of gaming at BNP Media, the company co-producing the conference, remarked: "One of the hot-button issues in any expanding gaming jurisdiction is problem gambling, and legislators and local officials are increasingly demanding that the industry take steps to minimise potential problems."

According to the event's official website, around 300 gambling experts will participate in proceedings which take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
