Gambling is an entertainment, keep it this way. The majority of people gamble and do so without experiencing any problems. However, an estimated 1% to 2% of the general population become |
| compulsive gamblers. |
To have a pleasant experience when gambling, we advise you following guidelines: |
1. Make sure that the decision to gamble is your personal choice. |
2. Establish what constitutes an acceptable loss before starting to gamble. |
3. Never gamble if you are younger than the legal gambling age, it interferes with your responsabilities. |
4. Do not gamble if you are in recovery for addictive disorders or dependencies |
5. Do NOT gamble if you had too much to drink |
6. Do not gamble if you are attempting to make up for prior gambling losses. |

| can be disastrous in excess. If you lose the ability to walk away from the table or machine at will then |
| you shouldn't play at all. Seek professional help if gambling is not something that you want to do but |
| something you need to do. |
