Play SmartISimple habits
Before the first card.
Small rituals shared by the most relaxed guests at our tables.
Set a limit
Decide your limit before you arrive and keep it when you leave the table.
Set a time
Choose when you will leave the floor. Dealers call the hour to help you keep track.
Never chase
A losing streak is part of the game. Trying to undo it usually makes it longer.
Take breaks
Step away every hour, walk the lakeshore and return with a clear head, or not at all.
Know the game
Every outcome is random. Past hands never change the next one, and the house always has an edge.
Play rested
Tired decisions are poor decisions. The tables will still be there tomorrow.
IIWarning signs
When play stops being play.
- Playing longer than you planned, again and again.

- Hiding your play from family, friends or colleagues.
- Playing to escape stress, worry or low mood.
- Missing work, sleep or important moments because of gaming.
- Thinking about the tables when you are somewhere else entirely.
