Signs it has stopped being entertainment
- Spending more time or money than planned, more than once.
- Going back to win back losses.
- Borrowing, hiding spending, or missing commitments because of play.
- Feeling restless or low when you cannot play.
Self-exclusion
Every province in this guide runs a voluntary self-exclusion program through its regulator or gaming corporation: OLG's My PlayBreak in Ontario, BCLC's program in British Columbia, AGLC's online program in Alberta (selfexclusion.ca), and Loto-Québec's in Québec. Each hotel profile links to its own help line; this guide rates hotels, not odds, and takes no part in casino promotions.
