There is a host responsibility program started by the organization so that there is successful gambling with minimum harm. As gambling involves various kind of people, as mentioned by Cascio and Montealegre (2016), who get aggressive under the influence of alcohol or loss in the gambling staff are trained to identify the problematic customers and modes to handle their behavior.
