Wheel of Mictlan

Responsible Gaming

Let the wheel spin for fun, not to settle a score

A Warning at the Gate

Wheel of Mictlan draws on Aztec myth for entertainment, and that's all it should be. If each spin of the wheel starts taking money or peace you can't spare, stop and seek help. Free and confidential support is there through the night.

Signs of Problem Gambling

  • Spending more money than you can afford to lose
  • Neglecting work, family, or other responsibilities
  • Chasing losses by gambling more
  • Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
  • Lying about gambling habits
  • Feeling anxious or depressed about gambling
  • Being unable to stop or reduce gambling

Tips for Safe Gambling

Set a Budget

Offer up only what you can lose to the underworld, then close your purse.

Set Time Limits

Set a limit before you spin so one turn of the wheel doesn't stretch for hours.

Never Chase Losses

The wheel owes you nothing after a loss. Accept it and walk on.

Take Breaks

Step back from the wheel now and then. A pause keeps your head above the mist.
