The University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) and Playtech have announced a multi-year collaboration aimed at creating a more sustainable and responsible gaming environment.
The collaboration brings together UNLV's International Gaming Institute (IGI) and Playtech to implement technologies that will promote safer gaming practices. The focus will be on using artificial intelligence and machine learning to promote responsible gaming.
