AGEM Committed to Good Corporate Citizenship

AGEM and its members are committed to being good corporate citizens by supporting responsible gaming organizations, educational programs and charitable organizations.

Each year, AGEM's involvement in the community and its donations to organizations helping to make a difference increases. New initiatives are considered on an on-going basis and as new concerns arise, AGEM members are quick to act.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, AGEM made a major donation to the Salvation Army and American Red Cross. Many of our members had employees living and working in the Gulf Coast region who were affected by this catastrophic event, and our customers (the gaming operators) certainly had a large presence as well.

Responsible Gaming

AGEM provides financial support to a number of responsible gaming organizations, including the National Council on Problem Gaming, the Nevada Council on Problem Gaming, and the Problem Gambling Center. AGEM encourages its members to support the cause through their own companies.

AGEM also works closely with the American Gaming Association (AGA) and helps promote the AGA’s education and advocacy programs, which include responsible gaming programs.

Philanthropy

In addition to supporting responsible gaming and other industry-embraced initiatives, AGEM and its members have helped numerous charitable and non-profit organizations, including The Boys and Girls Club and United Way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, AGEM made a major donation to the Salvation Army and American Red Cross.

Education

AGEM has become active in supporting educational programs that promote gaming manufacturing as a career. In 2007, AGEM made a contribution supporting the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas, which offers an Associate of Applied Science degree in electronic engineering with a slot repair emphasis.
