Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gaming at Palace Casino

At Palace Casino, we are dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable, and responsible gaming environment for all our guests. We believe that gambling should be a source of entertainment, not harm, and are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices throughout our venue.


Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

We support and encourage responsible gaming by adhering to these core principles:

  • Gambling as Entertainment
    Gambling should be a fun and occasional activity—not a way to make money or a solution for personal challenges.
  • Setting Personal Limits
    We urge all guests to set limits on how much time and money they spend at the casino, and to stick to those limits.
  • Knowing When to Stop
    If you feel you’re losing control, take a break. It’s important to walk away when gambling is no longer enjoyable.
  • Staff Training and Support
    Our staff are trained to recognize the signs of problem gambling and are always available to assist guests confidentially and respectfully.

Safer Gambling: What It Means

While most guests never experience gambling-related harm, we recognize the importance of supporting all individuals in making informed and healthy decisions.

  • Understanding Your Finances
    Only gamble using discretionary income—money left over after paying for essential living expenses like rent, utilities, food, and travel. Gambling should never come at the cost of your well-being. You need to assess how much you can afford to gamble after meeting all of your essential costs. This will be different for everyone, and it’s important to always gamble responsibly within your means. Ask yourself: Do you have sufficient discretionary income to afford gambling at your current level? We may occasionally ask you to assess whether you have sufficient funds to continue gambling at your current level. It’s important to consider your own financial situation regularly.
  • Self-Assessment: Are You at Risk?
    Ask yourself:
    • Are you spending more than you can afford?
    • Are you chasing losses or gambling to relieve stress?
    • Have friends or family shown concern about your gambling?
    • Are you feeling guilt, stress, or anxiety related to gambling?

If you answer “yes” to any of these questions, it may be time to seek help.


Identifying the Signs of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling can happen to anyone. Common signs include:
