Responsible Gaming
At J Taylor Casino, we’re committed to ensuring that your casino experience remains fun, exciting, and most importantly—responsible. For over 30 years, we’ve been dedicated not just to providing VIP charter services, but to the wellbeing of every guest we serve.
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
Casino gaming is meant to be an enjoyable form of entertainment. Most people who visit casinos do so responsibly, setting limits and playing within their means. We want to help you keep it that way.
Know the Signs
Problem gambling can affect anyone. Here are some warning signs to watch for:
In Yourself:
Spending more money or time gambling than you can afford
Gambling to escape problems or relieve feelings of anxiety or depression
Lying to family or friends about gambling activities
Missing work or family obligations due to gambling
Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back on gambling
Chasing losses or gambling to win back money you’ve lost
In Others:
Unexplained financial problems or secretive behavior about money
Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
Mood swings, anxiety, or depression related to gambling outcomes
Repeatedly talking about gambling or recent wins
Set Your Limits
Smart players set boundaries before they start. Consider these guidelines:
Budget Wisely:
Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
Never borrow money to gamble
Set a spending limit before you play and stick to it
Leave credit cards and ATM cards at home if it helps you stay within budget
Manage Your Time:
Set time limits for your gambling sessions
Take regular breaks
Don’t let gambling interfere with work, family, or other responsibilities
Balance gambling with other leisure activities
Play Smart:
Understand the odds—the house always has an edge
Don’t chase losses
Never gamble while under the influence of alcohol or drugs
View gambling as entertainment, not a way to make money
Self-Exclusion Programs
If you feel you need to take a break from gambling, most casinos offer self-exclusion programs that allow you to voluntarily ban yourself from their properties for a specified period.
To self-exclude:
Contact the casino(s) you wish to be excluded from directly
Complete the required paperwork and provide identification
Choose your exclusion period (typically 1 year, 5 years, or lifetime)
Once enrolled, the casino will deny you entry and gaming privileges. J Taylor Casino respects all self-exclusion agreements and will not knowingly transport individuals who are on self-exclusion lists.
