Responsible gambling

Responsible Gaming at Great Northern Casino

We take responsible gaming seriously at Great Northern Casino, striving to provide a safe and entertaining environment for all our patrons.

Self-Exclusion Program

For your own well-being, we recommend taking advantage of Alberta's self-exclusion program. If you feel the need to exclude yourself from gambling activities temporarily or permanently, please contact us. We will ensure that our staff respect this decision and assist in maintaining your self-exclusion status.

Voluntary Spending Limits

To help manage your spending effectively, consider registering a voluntary spending limit with one of our floor managers. This can be set as low as $100 per visit to provide you with greater control over your gaming activities.

Reality Checks and Time RemindersWe understand the importance of taking breaks from gaming sessions. That's why we've implemented reality-check measures throughout our facilities, including digital clocks displayed prominently on gaming floors. In addition, staff are trained to identify signs of distress and will kindly offer you a time-out reminder card if needed.

Session Reminders

Every two hours, automated announcements remind players to take breaks and review their spending habits.

Additional SupportWe're committed to supporting our guests with responsible gambling practices in place. These include:

• Availability of budget planning tools at GameSense information centres
• Access to reality-check devices that can be borrowed for use on gaming sessions

By taking these precautions, you'll not only maintain a healthy relationship with gaming but also have the opportunity to experience the excitement of our various slot machines and table games.
