IF YOUR GAMBLING IS BECOMING A PROBLEM, HERE'S HOW TO GET HELP

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you may have a gambling problem:

  • Are you spending more time gambling than you planned?
  • Are you feeling stressed or agitated during or after playing?
  • Are you withdrawing money repeatedly to keep playing?
  • Do you keep playing to try to win back losses?
  • Are you putting gaming ahead of family, friends or work?
  • Are you borrowing or stealing money to play?

If you think you (or a friend or family member) may have a gambling problem, here are some ways to get help.

Know the odds. Gaming machines in hotels and clubs are set to return between 78-92% to players so the odds are that you will lose. The win cycle of games is random, so the machine and the time you play makes no difference to your chances.
