Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Ride in with only what you can lose, and holster it when it's gone.

Set Time Limits

The frontier waits. Set a timer before you draw.

Never Chase Losses

A loss is a loss out here. Don't raise the stakes to settle it.

Take Breaks

Step off the trail now and then to clear your head.
