Responsible Gaming

Responsible Gaming

Aseneskak Casino encourages customers to play as a recreational activity ONLY.  Being a responsible gambler means:

  • You set a spending limit
  • When you reach your limit you stop playing
  • Set a time limit
  • You play for a certain amount of time and take frequent breaks
  • You are prepared to lose
  • You don’t keep playing to try to win back what you have lost
  • Use only money you can afford to lose
  • Never use money needed for daily living
  • Never borrow money in order to gamble
Patron Awareness

The Aseneskak Casino provides on-site display materials to help educate patrons about the risks associated with gambling and where to receive help for problem gambling.  These materials include a number of brochures, posters in washrooms, and responsible gaming messages on the scrolling message display of all slot machines.

Public Education

The Aseneskak Casino is committed to increasing awareness about problem gambling in the surrounding community.  Through this website, and through the placement of educational articles in The Pas and OCN local newspapers, we provides useful information to assist the general public in making responsible decision and informed choices related to gambling.

Staff Training

The Aseneskak Casino provides ongoing staff training focused on recognizing the signs and symptoms of problem gambling and where to refer clients for help.  Training is conducted by the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba.

Voluntary Exclusion Program

Voluntary Exclusion is a process for people who feel it is in their best interest not to participate in casino gambling.  By entering into the Voluntary Exclusion Program you are agreeing not to attend the Aseneskak Casino located on Opaskwayak Cree Nation.  This process is helpful to people who have experienced problems as a result of gambling and want to deal with these problems. 

How does it work?

If you want to take part in the Voluntary Exclusion Program, you must sign a Request for Voluntary Exclusion form.  Signing the Request form means you are voluntarily removing yourself from attending the Aseneskak Casino.  Before singing one of these forms it will be read to you by an Aseneskak Casino employee to ensure that you fully understand the terms of your exclusion. 

What happens after entering the program?

The Aseneskak Casino Security Staff will have your Request for Voluntary Exclusion form and photograph on file.  Should you enter the Aseneskak Casino you will be identified quickly and escorted from the property.

How long does it last?

The Voluntary Exclusion Program lasts indefinitely.  The only way you will be allowed to re-enter the casino is by filling out an application for Reinstatement of Access to the Aseneskak Casino.  You may request an application by writing or calling the Aseneskak Casino.
