A good night knows when to stop

The casino is entertainment, not income. A few simple habits keep it that way — and if the fun ever slips, help is free and confidential.

Before you go

Decide what you’re happy to spend before you sit down, and treat it as the price of a night out. Leave the cards and the overdraft at home, take cash you can afford to lose, and set a time to leave as well as a limit to spend.

While you’re there

Take breaks, keep the drinks in check, and never chase a loss — the next hand doesn’t know what the last one did. If you’re not enjoying it, that’s the moment to stop, not to double up.

Only ever 18+
