Mindful play.

Habits that help

• Decide in advance how long you’d like to play, and set a timer if it helps.
• Step away regularly. Stretch, drink some water, look out a window.
• Don’t play to escape stress, sadness or sleeplessness — talk to someone instead.
• Don’t play when you’re tired, upset, or under the influence.
• Treat the game as entertainment, like a film or a book — not a task.
• Remember the coins on screen aren’t money. There’s nothing to chase.
