Unearth the fun, but don't dig your own grave
Le Pharaoh invites you into ancient Egypt for fun, and that is all it should be. Gambling can quietly pile up like sand until it buries you. If the game starts to cost you money, sleep, or the people you care about, put down the spade and talk to someone. Confidential help stays open every hour of the day.
Decide what you can afford to lose before you crack the first vault.
Give your dig a deadline so a short excavation stays short.
A buried loss won't resurface because you keep spinning. Let it rest.
Climb out of the dig often. A clear head reads the map better.
Take a moment and answer straight. These six questions are based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI). Answering “yes” to two or more is reason enough to contact one of the organizations listed above.
Have you bet more than you could afford to lose in the past 12 months?
Have you needed to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling of excitement?
Have you gone back another day to try to win back money you lost?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
Have you felt that you might have a problem with gambling?
Has gambling caused you any health problems, including stress or anxiety?
