- Spend some time learning about the games you intend to play. If you are willing to blow a $1000, wouldn’t it be a decent idea to spend $10 on a book to learn the basic rules and strategy?
- There is a different angle to every game in the casino. Even with slot machines, a few little tips can go a long way toward helping you hold on to your money longer.
- If you play games of skill such as Blackjack or Video Poker, try to learn at least a basic form of strategy for your game. It can make all the difference between having money to gamble all vacation or busting out on your first night.
- You can purchase simple strategy cards at most casino gift shops. For a more extensive selection, check out Shop LVA or Gambler’s General Store. Don’t feel intimidated about using them at the tables; most places don’t care, especially at low stakes.
- Games to avoid… Casino War, the Big Six wheel and crazy bets at the Craps table like hard-ways. These bets have a very high house edge and will kill you fast.
- Always sign up for the slot club or ask to be “rated” at the tables. The worst thing that can happen is the casinos will give you free stuff. I often receive offers in the mail for cheap or free rooms after playing a little while years ago.
- If possible, consolidate your gambling to just a few casinos. It is better to play $100 at a single casino than to play $20 at 5 casinos.
