Richard A. (Rich) Johnson, a registered professional engineer, conceived the Safe Gaming System™ (SGS) in 1999, and leads the Company today. Rich developed the Safe Gaming System concept while doing work in the field of problem gambling. He also sponsored the creation of problemgambling.com and responsiblegaming.com, Web sites that disseminate helpful information and guidance to problem gamblers, gaming companies, and professionals who treat people with gambling problems or strive to prevent gambling issues. In 2003, after an intensive 3-year review, the US Patent Office granted a very robust patent for the Safe Gaming System.

Richard A. Johnson, P.E.

Many countries and jurisdictions around the world have tried diligently, through various means, to deal with and curtail problem gambling. However, until SGS, there has been no effective means or mechanism devised to control gambling behavior on a broad scale.

The vision of the SGS business is to offer a worldwide, technology-based solution to assess and prevent gambling issues. The ultimate social mission is to eliminate or minimize the harm to people caused by excessive and inappropriate gambling.

The SGS staff consists of engineers, software developers, and experts in the field of problem gambling. The staff is located in the United States, Canada, and Europe.

The SGS Headquarters location is Las Vegas, Nevada.
