Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

At Dorvena Casino Hotel, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing a safe, enjoyable environment for all our guests. We believe that gambling should be an entertaining experience, not a means to solve financial problems or an activity that leads to negative consequences.

Our responsible gaming program is designed to help prevent problem gambling and provide support for those who may need assistance. We train our staff to recognize signs of problem gambling and to provide appropriate resources when needed.

We encourage all our guests to gamble responsibly by setting time and monetary limits, taking regular breaks, and viewing gambling as entertainment rather than as a way to make money.

Responsible Gaming at Dorvena

Know Your Limits

Set time and monetary limits before you begin gambling. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose and view it as the cost of entertainment, not as a way to make money.

  • Decide how much money you're willing to lose
  • Set a time limit for your gaming sessions
  • Leave credit cards and ATM cards in your room
  • Take regular breaks during play

Warning Signs

It's important to recognize potential signs of problem gambling. If you or someone you know exhibits these behaviors, it may be time to seek help:

  • Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of helplessness
  • Lying about how much time or money is spent on gambling
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Neglecting work, school, or family obligations
  • Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences

Self-Exclusion Program

Dorvena offers a self-exclusion program for guests who wish to restrict their access to our casino facilities. By enrolling in this program, you can voluntarily ban yourself from our casino for a specified period or permanently.

Our staff is trained to enforce self-exclusion requests and to provide this service discreetly and respectfully. To enroll in the self-exclusion program, please speak with a member of our responsible gaming team or visit the Diamond Club desk.
