Where to Get Help
Patrons who use their GameSense understand that gambling involves taking a risk. Casino gambling is designed to be a form of fun and entertainment and is not intended to create personal hardship.
Take the questionnaire contained in the Self Assessment brochure to see what your personal risk is for developing problems with gambling.
Note: The test contained in the brochure is a basic evaluation and not a diagnostic tool.
