You can go onto the website for your state's lottery commission and fill out the form that makes it that you cannot go into any casino in your state for a year. Granted, you still may be able to sneak in and gamble, but if you get caught, they will escort you out and wouldn't that be embarrassing. Also, if you win any jackpots that require a handpay, you won't get any money - instead, you'll be escorted out of the casino. You might want to try this

I'm from Canada, and by law if there is a casino in a city the casino has to put out information and programs to help people with gambling problems. I don't know where else they do this, but it seems like a good idea to me.

In Nevada there is a sign for people with problems with gambling, referring them to a local GA - gambler's anonymous. The programs are private, not run by the casinos.

There is a hotline: 1-800 BETS OFF.
A lot of states have a program which allows you to voluntarily "self-exclude" yourself from admittance to the casino. If you try to enter the casino, you will be charged with trespassing. Or worse. Some of the self-exclude programs are lifetime and irreversible, some are not.
All of these options are funded by the casinos. It is in their best interest to do so, as they don't want to contribute to ruining lives. People who are flat broke aren't very profitable to them.

If they had programs, that would take away from their profit. I've only seen flyers or notices above the atm's saying "if you think you have a problem then stop and get help".

Many states have help lines - funded by lotteries and casinos
