RESPONSIBLE GAMBLING
For most people, an evening at the casino is entertainment just as much as much as a visit to the theater or attending to a sporting event is.
Like most other recreational experiences, gambling carries costs money and time, and responsible gaming means not to spend more money or time than you can reasonably afford. Unlike movies and spectator sports, however, risk of losing is part of gambling. Most of us can control that risk and know when to stop.
However, there is a risk of getting addicted to gambling, so it is important to know your options for counseling and treatment of this addiction. These options include, as follows:
