Responsible gambling
Our events aren't gambling. Nights On The Table runs casino-themed entertainment with play chips that have no cash value. Nobody pays to play, no real money is accepted and nothing can be won. There is no way to gamble on or through this site, and we don't link to gambling operators.
Because our events look like a casino, we think it's right to share where to find help. Real gambling can be addictive. It is entertainment, not a way to make money.

Signs gambling may be a problem
- spending more money or time than you planned;
- chasing losses, or borrowing to gamble;
- hiding gambling from family or friends;
- feeling anxious, irritable or low when you're not gambling;
- gambling affecting your work, relationships or sleep.
Keep it in check
- Set a budget and a time limit before you start, and stick to them.
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose. Never treat it as income.
- Take regular breaks and don't gamble when you're stressed or after drinking.
- Never chase losses.
Self-exclusion
Land-based gaming sites in every province offer voluntary self-exclusion, which lets you ban yourself from gaming venues for a period you choose. In Ontario, ConnexOntario and the Responsible Gambling Council can explain how it works and help you enrol. Every province's helpline below can do the same.
