Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and
knowledge required to provide responsible gambling services,
and information to customers who require assistance with their
problem gambling.

responsible gambling services under state and territory

Application of the Unit
Application of the unit
Responsible gambling services must be provided wherever
gambling activities are undertaken. In the hospitality industry,
the gambling environment is usually referred to as the gaming
area and is provided in a range of venues such as hotels, motels,
clubs, pubs and casinos.
Gambling is defined as the staking of money on uncertain
events driven by chance. The major forms of gambling are
wagering (racing and sport) and gaming (gaming machines,
table games, Keno and lotteries). Both forms of gambling are
relevant to the hospitality industry.
Hospitality venues operate Totalisator Agency Board (TAB)
outlets for wagering on racing and sport events. They also cover
the full range of gaming activities, including the operation of
gaming machines, table games, Keno and lotteries.
The responsible provision of gambling services is an essential
underpinning skill for any level of hospitality personnel
involved in the sale and service of gambling activities in
licensed premises, including the licencee, gaming supervisors
and gaming managers when involved in operational gambling
activities.
The unit applies equally to frontline operational gambling
personnel who operate with a limited level of autonomy and
under some supervision and guidance from others. They would
operate within the predefined organisational procedures and
industry and regulatory authority codes of conduct.
Operational job roles would include gaming attendant, table
game attendant, croupier and multi-skilled food and beverage
attendant.
