The Seminar will discuss operational specifications for the creation of a coordination group and analysis of the differences between pathological and recreational gambling. In addition, the causes of problematic behaviors and ways of prevention will be discussed. Finally, the members of the Municipality will be invited to participate in the creation of a coordinating group for safe play within the community.
