Play it cool.
Casino games are entertainment that costs money. Here is how to keep it that way — and where to find help if it stops being fun.
The basics
- You must be 21 or older to gamble, or to be on a casino floor, in Nevada.
- Every casino game has a built-in house edge. Over time, the casino wins.
- Decide on a budget before you play and treat it as the cost of the night.
- Set a time limit, take breaks, and never chase losses.
- Don’t gamble when you’re upset, tired, or have been drinking heavily.
- Never borrow money to gamble.

- Feeling anxious or irritable when you try to stop.
- Gambling with money meant for bills or essentials.
