What is Gambling and Gaming?
Our belief is that there
are several forms of gambling, we believe that the pure form
of gambling is lottery tickets, scratch & win,
sports select, bingo and Card games that require skill such as
black jack, Texas holdem, poker. The other form is gaming such
the VLT’s, casino slot games. The games are all based on
a predetermined hit frequency with the advantage being in favour
of the gaming industry. The computerized games do not require skill
only money, all you have to do is know how to push a button and
slide your money into a slot.
Gambling is not a substance based problem, but rather an experience
or behaviour, its limits are more difficult to establish.
For many playing casino slots, table games, Vlts at a bar or bingo
games are a pleasurable form of entertainment. There are very high
risks for those who have gone beyond having fun. When playing a
game, hope to win, expect to lose. Money is either totally or partially
the actual goal of the activity for gamblers, when chasing losses
takes over the fun you may have become a problem gambler or be
harming someone else.
YOU
DON’T HAVE
TO GAMBLE TO LOSE!!
