They purposely get you drunk of free booze so you get drunk and lose your money, and they pump oxygen in so that you stay awake for epic amounts of hours.

profit.

Yeah, pretty much just stay away. Or only bring a pre determined amount of money and NO credit cards/debit cards. CASH ONLY. Also, have a friend there with you so if you are up a large amount of money he can pull you away and get the hell out of there while you still have a profit because remember, the house always wins.

On a positive note, blackjack and poker are fun. Just play around on the slots and any card game, its pretty easy to pick up.

I just went to one yesterday. I won 6 bucks!

The casino I go to has blackjack, slots, and limit poker. Don't play slots, most of the time they take your money.
Poker is fun if its no limit but I hate limit so I never play.
Stick to blackjack. I like playing the 3 dollar minimum table, you can play for while there for just 30 bucks. If youre willing to lose money you could play the 5 or 10 dollar tables. If youre a high roller play the 25 4 deck shoe.

Don't get addicted bring a set amount of cash and DONT bring a credit/debit card. Im down 130 cause of that shit.

If you have any questions just ask. I go to one about every other week.

3 card poker, black jack, let it ride, and carribean stud poker are all fun games.

Don't go looking to make money. You won't. Go looking to have a fun time, think of it as entertainment.

Also, try to get free play for signing up or something.

Have a limit.

Black jack is the best, get ready for bright lights, flashing shit, mirrors and no windows. Also, extreme intoxication.

And don't forget table edict. Only jump into the table when the dealer is shuffling or when someone backs out(you take their spot).If you jump in you make people mad and it's really rude, it will mess up the flow. Also if you have a 12 and up don't be a fucking idiot and hit when the dealer has a 6. 2-6 are bust cards. (highest chance of the dealer going over 21). And dont be afraid to ask the dealer for help. Never touch the cards. Don't hand the dealer your buy in money, set it in front of them. To hit, tap the table. To stay,do a flat wave. They won't accept verbal moves. Always double down on 11. Set the double amount of chips directly to the left of the ones already on the table. Always split Aces,put chips to the left again. I hope this helps. Have fun.

depends on what kind of casino you're going to.

The ones around here - the non-Indian, non-Nevada type, are dark, but clean. The brightest thing in the room is the beacon of the ATM beckoning you to redeem yourself and win money. As already mentioned, bring your cash that you're willing to lose, and DO NOT use the ATM.

Drinks can sometimes be suuuuupper cheap. So if you're lookin to drink a bit and play with money, it can be fun.

But I only used to go to play poker. Fuck the other games.

I remember my first time at a casino with a few friends, my one friend and i sat in the keno lounge betting one dollar each time while my other friend lost 200 at blackjack. I wound up losing like 20 at keno, then threw down 10 on roulette real quick on the way out and won like 80. Good time, just bet safe. And no, you can't make money. You might one day. But not everyday. Basically don't get addicted, and only play slots if you have free play.

Sign up for the player's club. It's free and you get hooked up.

I get comped rooms, dinners, and cash from Ameristar in Blackhawk. So even if I lose money gambling all the freebies make up for it.

When getting drinks, beer is always a good bet because they can't skimp on the alcohol.

Blackjack is the easiest game by far.

I try not to go too often so I don't wind up getting addicted or some shit. What i do is buy the minimum amount of chips I am willing to lose, so say £20 worth. Then play black jack with those chips, As soon as I amount another £10 then I put the orignal 20 aside and don't play those anymore that night; no matter what happens. that way I won't lose anything! It's a risk at the beginning but it's the thrill of the risk you know?

sit down at a blackjack table and get comfortable. dealers are pretty good with blackjack strategy and have always been very helpful to me. also, walk in with a certain amount and stay away from atms and booze.i apparently "squirrel" my money, its a good way to play

Yeah, do that

I don't get free rooms, but I only have gone twice, and bet little money, but have gotten free food and free play

Usually you can get a free buffet pretty easily, which are usually pretty good
