For adult readers.
This casino-related guide is intended for people aged 18 and over. Casino admission depends on the venue’s rules, identification requirements, exclusions and operating conditions. A hotel reservation is not an admission guarantee.
Plan the holiday budget first.
Keep accommodation, meals and transport money separate. If you choose to gamble, decide an affordable limit in advance, set a time to stop and never chase losses. Do not borrow money to gamble or treat gambling as income.
You can choose a different kind of evening.
Plan dinner, a show, a harbour walk or an early night. If gambling makes a precinct uncomfortable, consider accommodation elsewhere and prioritise your wellbeing.
