No money is at stake here. The habits are real, though. Here is how the line deals with them.
Is gambling hurting you right now? Call ConnexOntario, free, on 1-866-531-2600; the line is staffed 24 hours a day. Prefer typing? The Responsible Gambling Council offers live chat on the web.
Brisco checks every rider twice. Why so strict for free reels? Social casino games borrow the look, sound and pace of real gambling, so Bighorn Gondola is for adults over the legal gambling age only and not for anyone under 19. Check one: the welcome banner at the bottom station. Check two: a required tick on the form, before the account exists.
A free game may be tuned for a generous feel, and an empty pouch refills at no cost. Real-money games offer neither kindness. However well a ride goes up here, it is no forecast of how you would do with real money at stake.

Riders at Bighorn Gondola must be 19 or over. The cabins run on virtual coins with no monetary value: not for buying, selling, withdrawing or exchanging. No coin kiosk at any station. No payment page on any trail. No prize of real-world value. And success here does not imply future success at real-money gambling.
