Setting Limits at South Beach Casino

A night away at South Beach Casino & Resort goes better with a spending and time limit agreed before the drive north on Highway 59. In Manitoba, free and confidential help answers the phone at any hour, on every day of the year.

Agreeing the limit before you leave

Settle two numbers at home, before the drive north: how much money goes to the casino floor, and the hour you will step away from it. Write both down where each of you can see them. Money for supper and the trip home stays apart from that amount. A limit agreed in the kitchen is easier to keep than one made at a machine.

Supper, the pool and the room are the plan for the night, and the casino is one stop in it. When the money is spent or the hour arrives, leave the floor and move to the next part of the evening. Slot play on an Ocean Club card earns points. Those points are not a reason to stay longer at a machine.

Phone numbers for help in Manitoba

  • Manitoba's Gambling Helpline at 1-800-463-1554 picks up at any hour, every day of the year, confidentially and free of charge. It is operated by Shared Health, previously known as Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, which provides counselling at no charge as well.
  • Indigenous people anywhere in Canada can reach the Hope for Wellness Helpline at 1-855-242-3310, or online, at any hour.
  • Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries runs a Voluntary Self-Exclusion programme that applies to PlayNow.com, the Casinos of Winnipeg and Shark Club Gaming Centre. First Nations casinos run programmes of their own; the resort's pages describe none, so the question goes to its main line, 204.766.2100.
