If you’re having a problem with gambling, it’s our problem too and we want to help. Ideally, when the goal is entertainment, gaming can be a positive experience for both the players and the casino. However, sometimes the experience turns less than entertaining when the player doesn’t set limits and loses control. We urge all our players to know their limits. If you’re experiencing difficulty controlling your gaming, please call 1-800-547-6133 or chat online through this link NCPG IM (icarol.com) and let someone help you turn the situation around.

HERE ARE A FEW WARNING SIGNS OF PROBLEM GAMBLING:
Excessive time spent gambling
This individual may skip important events or miss out on family obligations, work, or school in order to spend time gambling.
Hiding losses
Frequently talking about wins without ever mentioning losses (and hiding financial information) are warning signs.
Escapism
Individuals who gamble as a means to escape pressures at home or work, or to distract themselves from loneliness or grief, may have a gambling problem.
Severe mood swings
Often, those with gambling disorders experience a positive or negative state of mind depending on their wins or losses; these individuals may also experience anxiousness or anger when they're not gambling
Snowballing bets
Individuals with gambling disorders tend to increase the size of their bets as a way of chasing their losses.
Failed attempts to stop
Many compulsive gamblers make earnest attempts to stop gambling but are unable to do so without help.
