Responsible Gaming

Play as Entertainment
Casino gaming is intended only for legally eligible adults. Guests should treat gaming as a form of entertainment, similar to seeing a movie or dining at a fine restaurant. It is not a way to earn money or pay off debts.
Setting Personal Limits
Before you begin, decide on a budget for your session and stick to it. Guests should set personal limits on both time and money spent on the gaming floor. Never gamble with money required for essentials like rent or bills.
Guidelines for Healthy Play
- Never chase losses; once your budget is reached, it's time to stop.
- Take regular breaks from the gaming floor.
- Avoid gaming when feeling stressed, depressed, or under impairment or any condition that affects clear decision-making.
- Balance gaming with other leisure activities available at the hotel.
Support Resources
If you or someone you know is finding it difficult to manage their gaming, support is available. Our staff can provide information on local support services and self-exclusion programs available in Australia.
