At Golden Nugget, we are in the entertainment business. When individuals are entertained, there is a healthy dose of fun and excitement, all experienced within an individual’s financial means. For the majority of people, it’s easy to make this distinction. However, at Golden Nugget, we know that a small percentage of people struggle with the fact that games of chance are simply a series of random outcomes, which for them takes away the entertainment factor. At Golden Nugget, we are serious about the prevention of compulsive gambling and educating those inflicted, helping to steer them in the right direction so that they can take back control.
