Responsible Gaming
Ensuring enjoyable experiences at casino hotels
Our Commitment
At NightBlissHotels.com, we believe casino entertainment should always be enjoyable and never cause harm. We encourage all visitors to approach gaming as a form of entertainment and to be aware of responsible gaming practices.
Age Notice
In Canada, the legal casino age is 19 in most provinces (18 in Alberta, Manitoba, and Quebec). All casino visitors must meet the minimum age requirement and present valid identification.
Tips for Responsible Gaming
Set a Budget
Only play with money you can afford to spend on entertainment. Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
Set Time Limits
Decide how long you want to play before you start. Take regular breaks and enjoy other amenities the casino hotel offers.
Stay Clear-Headed
Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while gaming. Clear thinking helps you make better decisions and enjoy your experience more.
Balance Your Activities
Casino hotels offer many amenities beyond gaming. Enjoy restaurants, shows, spas, and other entertainment options.
Know Your Limits
Gaming should be enjoyable entertainment. If it stops being fun, it's time to take a break and try other activities.
Bring a Friend
Visiting with friends or family can enhance your experience and help you maintain perspective on your gaming activity.
Signs to Watch For
Be aware of signs that gaming may be becoming a concern:
- Spending more money or time at casinos than intended
- Feeling restless or irritable when not at the casino
- Chasing losses by continuing to play to win back money
- Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
- Feeling anxious, depressed, or stressed about casino visits

Self-Exclusion Programs
Most Canadian provinces offer self-exclusion programs that allow individuals to voluntarily restrict their casino access. These programs are confidential and can be an effective tool for those who need to take a break from casino visits.
Contact your provincial gaming authority or visit any casino's guest services desk for information about self-exclusion options in your province.
