House rules
House rules
Slots are built to pay back a little less than they take over time. These rules keep the night fun.
18+
Set the budget before the session
Decide what the night costs and treat it as spent. Never top it up mid-session.
Put a clock on it
Use the operator's reality checks or a phone timer. Long sessions blur the numbers.
Never chase a loss
A losing run doesn't make a win due. Each spin is independent of the last one.
Keep play money apart
Gambling money should never be rent or bill money.
Use the brakes the house gives you
Deposit limits and self-exclusion are in every licensed operator's account settings.
Stop when it stops being fun
If you feel the urge to hide it or win it back, that's the signal to step away.
Signs it's time to talk to someone
- Spending more than you planned
- Borrowing money to play
- Playing to get away from problems
- Feeling restless or irritable when you are not playing
- Hiding your play from the people close to you
