CHICKEN RANCH CASINO RESORT RESPONSIBLE GAMING NOTICE
RESPONSIBLE GAMING NOTICE - PLEASE READ IN FULL
DO NOT LET GAMBLING GET OUT OF HAND
Gambling should be a form of entertainment, and just one of many hobbies you have. Never gamble more money than you can afford to lose, or spend so much time gambling that it interferes with other areas of your life.
While most people are able to gamble responsibly, some people develop a gambling problem or addiction. Fortunately, this medically recognized disease is treatable, and there is no cost for many treatments in California.

RESPONSIBLE GAMING EXCLUSION

A patron with a responsible gaming exclusion (“self-exclusion”) is excluded from all parts of a facility, including gaming areas, gaming floors, restaurants, hotels, pavilions, entertainment venues, and any other parts of a casino. If you are interested in a self-exclusion, please express your interest with a Chicken Ranch Casino security team member or contact [email protected][1] .
Self-exclusions can be repealed. Self-excluded patrons must submit (1) a letter appealing the self-exclusion with (2) proof of completion in a responsible gaming program.
