Understanding Problem Gaming
For the majority of our guests, a trip to one of our casinos is a fun, entertaining night out. For some, however, the urge to gamble can be overwhelming.
This problem is called compulsive gaming and becomes a disorder when the individual loses the ability to stop gaming. High debt, family and work problems can arise. It takes help to stop.
Recognizing A Problem
Key Indicators of Compulsive Gaming include:
Total preoccupation with gambling.
Playing higher stakes to recoup earlier losses.
Gambling to escape problems.
Jeopardizing family, relations, career, and education.
Anxiousness about recovering previous day losses.
Gambling until you lose all your money.
