Michigan Having Problem Gambling Symposium's Soon

Now with gambling in Michigan online, I would guess that it could turn into a problem for some folks. I found myself trying it a few times and I found it very entertaining. It was amazing all the games, sound effects and graphics on there. I stopped once I hit what I could afford to lose. The other time I won a few bucks and cashed out and took the money and ran so to speak. I lived in Vegas for 7 years and I have seen how gambling can become a nightmare for some folks and their families.

If you or someone you know gets into a problem with it, here is a way to get help says wilx.com. It says COVID-19 has threatened the mental health of Michigan residents. This is why the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is hosting the free 13th annual Problem Gambling Symposium virtually on March 4 and 5.

Alia Lucas, Gambling Disorder Program Manager with MDHHS. “This year, more than ever, we encourage all residents – health care providers, parents, family and friends concerned about a loved ones’ health – to tune into the symposium to learn about the signs and steps they can take to help someone struggling with a gambling disorder.”

I understand how it could be a problem now that is so easy to try your luck. The euphoria of a big win is so addicting, and then you think you can do it again. Time is your enemy when you're gambling, so if you win you need to get out at some point. Good luck and never gamble what you can't afford to lose.
